Game of Thrones fans have got their hands on some incredible pieces of memorabilia.
Between Thursday, Oct. 10 and Saturday, Oct. 12, Heritage Auctions made $21,115,718 in a "completely sold-out" Game of Thrones: The Auction event that attracted over 4,500 bidders worldwide, the Dallas-based company said in a release.
More than 900 items from the hit show were up for grabs, including an "original touring Iron Throne molded from the original screen-used throne," which fetched $1.49 million.
The auction house stated the sale occurred after a "nearly six-minute-long back-and-forth between bidders that resulted in the seven-figure price."
"When it sold, the auction room erupted with applause," the release confirmed.
The company added that the throne was "painted plastic embellished with jewels to look like a dragon-forged chair made of 'the swords of the vanquished, a thousand of them, melted together like so many candles.' "
Other pieces of memorabilia auctioned included "the weighty, ornate, 'hero' version of the Valyrian steel bastard sword Longclaw, gifted to Jon Snow by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont" — used by Kit Harington's character throughout the series — which ended up being sold for $400,000; the second most expensive of the items.
The outfit Jon Snow wore for his “Beyond the Wall” trip in season 7 also fetched $137,500, "partly because it also came with a lighter 'action' version of Longclaw," per the release.
A "third hard-rubber 'action' iteration of the iconic sword" nabbed $106,250, while Harington's character's famous Night’s Watch ensemble went for $337,500, the auction house confirmed.
Among other sales was "Jaime Lannister’s black-leather armor ensemble" — which went for $275,000 — along with "Arya Stark’s boy ensemble complete with an action Needle that sold for $150,000," the release stated, and "Daenerys Targaryen’s white-and-gray arctic rabbit fur coat adorned with the triple-dragon head brooch/cape clasp." The latter fetched $156,250.
“From the moment we launched the Game of Thrones auction in September, it was clear this was going to resonate with everyone,” Heritage Auctions Executive Vice President, Joe Maddalena, said in the release.
