Costumes from the Screen… Part 1
From the silver screen, to your TV screen, costumes help to breathe life into a production and transport you to a different era or world. From Dorothy’s red slippers in The Wizard Of Oz to Superman’s super suit, iconic costumes are a staple for some of our best loved films.
Gods Of Egypt Auction… Walking With Gods
In the world of Gods of Egypt, the pantheon of gods lived among their creations as deities and rulers. Despite their true, almighty forms, the gods take human form among their lesser creations, showing their power and status through clothing and armor rather than wings and claws. Take a look now at some of the most memorable looks from the deities in the Gods of Egypt Auction.
Gods Of Egypt Auction… Women Of The Nile
Unlike the armored militarism of many of the male gods, the female deities of Gods of Egypt show their power more subtly, incorporating symbols of their might into the fine dresses, crowns, and other ornamental pieces they wear. Naturally, this makes many of the goddess costumes some of the most visually arresting lots in the auction.
Gods Of Egypt Auction… Defending Egypt

Star Trek Live Auction… The Final Frontier: Uniforms and Props From the USS Enterprise
Debuting in 1966, Star Trek unleashed a pop-culture phenomenon that would permanently keep a residence in the consciousness and hearts of science fiction fans.

Kirk, Lieutenant Nyota Uhura, Dr. Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy, and the ever-so-logical Mr. Spock quickly catapulted from television series characters to beloved icons.
Star Trek Live Auction… Andy Siegel: Starfleet’s Prop Master
Working as the Prop Master for a major motion picture is a tough job, even when the pieces you’re creating aren’t already iconic. When industry veteran Andy Siegel landed the job for Star Trek Into Darkness, he was not only taking on a sequel to a successful film, but a legacy of props and design that’s now over 50 years in the making. Thankfully, Andy was nice enough to visit memory lane with us and share a bit about what it was like to help equip the Starship Enterprise….

Spectral Auction : The Weta Way
While most productions call for a specialty prop or two, few projects demand an arsenal of unique and intricate designs seen in the Legendary and Netflix Original film, Spectral.

With Terminator Genisys, the legacy of the classic science fiction franchise is used to build an alternate timeline that finds Sarah Connor being prepared and protected by her very own T-800…
Prop Store’s Presents… Fighting For The Future
