The treasure trove of memorabilia also includes a huge selection of outfits from Daenerys’s wardrobe, spanning her evolution from hero to villain.

Game of Thrones is one of the most popular television shows of all time, gathering over 44 million viewers over the course of its final season.

But after the grand finale in May 2019, contents from the show’s set began gathering dust.

And now the sought-after collection is now due to sell at auction, as reported by What’s the Jam.

Heritage Auctions have worked with HBO’s archivists and members of the show’s production team to offer more than 900 lots and 2,000 pieces total.

As well as a white walker, melted iron throne and enough swords and shields to stage a full-on battle, there is also a selection of jewellery, accessories and dresses.

The auction includes important items from every character arc and storyline, from the moment Robert Baratheon asks Ned Stark to become Hand of the King to the moment Bran Stark was crowned ruler of the Six Kingdoms.

Named Game of Thrones: The Auction, the event is set to take place from 10 to 12 October with Heritage Auctions.

It will also preview some items to the public from 17 September to 4 October at Heritage Auctions’ New York City gallery, and from 19 September to 4 October at Heritage’s London Location.
