Fans of the successful saga brought to the screen ‘Game of Thrones’ by HBO were present from all over the world to participate in an online auction where they bought various items in which the jewel was a replica of the Throne de Hierro, which after six minutes of fighting for it, sold for 1.49 million dollars.
In the event from October 10 to 12, 4,500 people from the ‘Heritage Auctions’ house participated and bid on costumes, armor, weapons, jewelry and other accessories, with a balance at the end of 21,115,718 million dollars, according to a press release. .
It further indicates that the famous throne is a replica made of plastic and molded from the original used on screen throughout the series, with metallic paint and jeweled decorations “to resemble the hilts of once-real swords.”

Game of Thrones auction ranks second on all-time entertainment theme auction list
“As its creator George RR Martin wrote: The Iron Throne is the throne of the conqueror, made with the swords of defeated enemies, a symbol of conquest,” he adds.
The most valuable suit was Jon Snow’s character’s signature ensemble for the Night’s Watch, which sold for $337,500 after one of the auction’s countless protracted bidding wars.
Noteworthy is that this auction ranks second on the all-time entertainment auction list, behind the $22.8 million Debbie Reynolds event held in 2011 by Heritage Auctions Executive Vice President Joe Maddalena.
“From the moment we announced the Game of Thrones auction in September, it was clear that this was going to resonate with everyone. “These are extraordinary treasures made by Emmy Award-winning costume and prop designers who worked tirelessly to adapt Martin’s wonderful novels,” Maddalena noted in the statement.
