Vintage Prop Hire For Films
We are very happy to hire out any of our current vintage stock and we love working with prop buyers and set designers to source unique and hard to find vintage pieces. We have worked on everything from major drama series for the BBC through to major feature films produced at Pinewood, Twickenham or Warner Studios. If we don’t have it in our warehouse we will find it for you, on time and on budget.
Case studies

In 2015, the BBC commissioned the television adaptation of His Dark Materials, an epic trilogy written by Philip Pullman. We were lucky enough to meet the amazing props team led by Charlie and the Bad Wolf production team and we were given a wide ranging brief to source ‘laboratory’ props for the production.
We ended up taking the props team on a special sourcing trip to Latvia where we were in the process of salvaging the contents of a 1950’s materials testing laboratory. We brought back a full 18 ton vehicle worth of equipment, lighting and furniture that was was used extensively in the set production.
