The Crown Spectacular Auction, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in the opulence and grandeur of one of television's most iconic shows is now live.

Step into an enchanting realm where history and fiction entwine seamlessly, as the sets, costumes, and props from series 1 – 6 of The Crown go to auction on February 7 at Bonhams London.

More than 450 items from the Netflix show, which focused on the reign of Britain’s late monarch Elizabeth, meticulously recreated interiors of Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, and other historical landmarks, flawlessly capturing the essence of regality.
