A screen-matched Long John Silver (Tim Curry) costume ensemble from Brian Henson's musical comedy Muppet Treasure Island. Silver wore his costume while on Treasure Island, including during the film's climactic fight between Silver and Captain Abraham Smollett (Kermit the Frog). The stains on the coat's right sleeve match it to the one seen on screen.

The lot comprises a long red coat with gold-coloured embroidery detailing; a black shirt with lace cuffs; a pair of striped beige trousers; a foam-lined pirate hat with feather details and a gold lace trim; two scarves; a sash belt; and a black leather belt. The jacket label has "Tim Curry April 1995" handwritten on it, as well as "Polly Smith 1995" (the credited costume designer for the film) and the trousers have "Tim Curry 1995" handwritten on the label. The belt buckle is made of production-distressed metal, and some of the buttons on the jacket are secured with safety pins. Also included are six handwritten costume labels, one of which has been torn in two, which each detail the film's title, performer name, and the item of clothing with which it is paired. The costume exhibits deliberate dirtying and distressing.

Estimate: £8,000 - 16,000 †Δ
