Jasper Palmer's (Michael Caine) screen-matched cardigan and costume, Theo Faron's (Clive Owen) screen-matched sweatshirt and costume, Kee's (Clare-Hope Ashitey) costume and a prop baby from Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men. Theo and Kee wore their costumes as they fled after Kee gave birth to the first human baby in nearly two decades. Jasper wore his costume during Theo's visit. The cardigan's knitted patterns match it to the scene where Palmer says farewell to Theo and his allies before he is murdered. Distressing on the embroidered text on Theo's sweatshirt can be matched to the scene on the row boat, when he revealed he had been shot.
Jasper's costume comprises a checked shirt; an embroidered waistcoat; a size "XL" patterned woollen cardigan; a pair of size "38W 33L" jumbo cords; a pair of lace-up shoes; a Celtic-style cross on a leather cord; and three beaded bracelets. Theo's intentionally-distressed costume comprises a size "L" corduroy shirt; a size "L" London Olympics 2012 jumper; a long coat; a pair of size "W34 L34" trousers; and a pair of size "11" trainers labelled "Theo". Kee's costume comprises a dress; a hooded top; a cape; a pair of Doc Marten boots; a pair of leg warmers; and a pregnancy body suit with a "post birth bump" label. The dress and hoodie feature faux blood stains. This poncho-wrapped prop baby, used in place of a real infant performer in certain scenes, has rubber skin and a foam interior. Dimensions (prop baby): 43 cm x 17 cm x 24.5 cm (17" x 6.75" x 9.75")
Estimate: £3,000 - 6,000 M
