With British period drama Downton Abbey drawing to a close in September, some fans took solace by getting close to memorable props and costumes from the much-loved British saga as they went on sale on August 18.
Everyone has their favourite piece, including Charlie Thomas of Londonโs Bonhams auction house, which is holding the sale.
He had no hesitation in highlighting the โbell wallโ, the servantโs call system that appears from the first series to the last, as his favourite item.
โJust to prove itโs a working bell, look at that โ I expect someoneโs going to deliver tea in a minute,โ he joked while testing out the item, which is valued between ยฃ6,000 (US$8,100) and ยฃ8,000.
Thomas, who is in charge of the auction, suspects that it will smash its presale valuation.
