Description
Unique Offering of Hollywood Memorabilia from the 1970 MGM Studio Auction From the set of the Elizabeth Taylor  film "CLEOPATRA"   Origionally acquired by my family at the 1970 MGM Studio Auction   this site has some details on the MGM Auction from which they were purchased:  http://www.debbiereynoldsonline.com/museum.htm You are looking at a set of two (2) Egyptian style statues that were purchased in Burbank, CA at a studio auction in 1970.  Apparently the movie cost so much (most expensive movie to date) that they decided to sell off the props used in various films (including such items at Dorthy's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz) They have a very commanding demeanor in their stance and facial expressions and incredible musculature.   They have been in my family ever since my Grandparents acquired them at the infamous 1970 MGM auction.  I do not have a any papers on them.    They are extremely heavy and intricately detailed musculature and facial features.  They are approximately 3 FEET TALL, hence the shipping & handling costs. Small chips to the original paint.   I don't have any documentation.   This will likely run a couple hundred dollars but anyone bidding should expect to pay shipping costs in addition to winning bid price.  All shipping, insurance and pacakging/crating costs must be paid by winning bidder in addition to winning bid amount. As I understand it, they were used as set props in the FOX production of "CLEOPATRA" starring Elizabeth Taylor.  Incredible detailing in their features.  If you are in Los Angeles, we can arrange pickup.  Such method would actually be preferred.  Also if you are in Los Angeles and are interested in previewing them prior to bidding, please email me through here. Payment due in full within 5 days and pickup within 7 days of end of Auction.  If they need to be shipped I will take them to be professionally packaged and shipped fully insured.Shipping internationally as well is going to be significant due to their size, fragility and weight.   Buyer to pay actual shipping and handling and packaging costs.If you are local in Los Angeles to pick them up, that would be ideal.   For serious prospective buyers who are local, I can arrange a private viewing to inspect their condition, prior to bidding. Thank you for your Consideration. Sold "As Is."Please email with any serious questions.A fantastic buy for a collector of Hollywood Memorabilia, Elizabeth Taylor / Cleopatra Fan, or an art collector or even an animal lover !BUYER MUST PAY ACTUAL SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES INCLUDING PACKAGING AND INSURANCE.
