Prop Art

In 1998, Prop Store founder Stephen Lane’s love for movies led him to begin hunting for the same props and costumes that were used to create his favorite films. He found that he could not only provide collectors with access to their most coveted pieces, but also establish archival standards for this new, pop-culture hybrid of fine art and memorabilia collecting—prop art.

What's your favourite film? Lord of the Rings? Pirates of the Caribbean? One of the Star Wars films? No matter what genre you prefer the shops - one in LA, the other in London -  have something for you. From Deputy Fallon's (Ving Rhames) sfx leg stump from Piranha 3DD to a Fraggle Rock muppet.

Thanks Bruce!

  1. That really cool dumpy robotty looking thing was one of the guardians(?) in the movie The Fifth Element. I vaguely remember them all marching into a rediscovered egyptian temple, and I seem to think they were pretty aggressive.
