Props from some of the most famous Irish movies and TV shows across four decades are set to go under the hammer in Dublin next month.
The trove of over 1,800 extras and set dressings supplied by Historic Interiors, a prop hire business founded in 1986, includes items used in The Banshees of Inisherin, Father Ted, My Left Foot and Normal People, among many others.
Rifles from the 1996 film Michael Collins are set to lead the charge at an auction featuring famous props from four decades of Irish film and TV. Historic Interiors is putting its entire collection up for grabs in an online auction, valued at €400,000, from December 5-8.
Also of cinematic note is the mirror which hangs prominently in the wake scene of My Left Foot, the clock featuring a man with a top hat from Colm Doherty’s (Brendan Gleeson’s) mantelpiece in The Banshees of Inisherin, and a sofa used by Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) in Normal People.
