Propstore
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 favourite 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 andmemorabilia collecting—prop art.Once Stephen assembled his dream team of like-minded movie fanatics, Prop Store set out like a band of movie archaeologists, looking to locate, research and preserve the treasure troves of important artifacts that hid in dark, sometimes forgotten corners all over the world.Now, more than twelve years later, the prop hobby and Prop Store are thriving. With over fifteen employees between their offices in London and Los Angeles and over 15,000 combined square feet of archived props and costumes, we’ve become the busiest and most trusted authority in the hobby.Thinking of starting your own collection?
