The extraordinary artistry and imagination of The Crown has come to life through a captivating exhibition at Bonhams which showcases the sets, costumes, and props from Series 1 to 6. 

This unique event has already made its way through New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and has now arrived in London, and will culminate in an exclusive live auction at Bonhams on New Bond Street, London on February 7 2024.

Celebrated as one of Netflix's most distinguished and celebrated productions, the auction house is allowing for a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of television history with the auction which features nearly 450 items. These include iconic pieces such as Queen Elizabeth's Coronation Robes, the Gold State Coach, a nearly 4-meter high replica of the Number 10 Downing Street façade, and garments and accessories worn by the shows stars including Claire Foy, Matt Smith, Olivia Colman, Imelda Staunton, Elizabeth Debicki and Emma Corrin.
