For nearly forty years, London’s Eccentric Trading Company has been the industry’s best-kept secret - a “warehouse of wonders” supplying films, television, and theatre with everything from grand dining tables to vintage Louis Vuitton luggage. &nbsp;Founded in 1986 by the Jordan family, the company built its reputation on objects that feel authentic, lived-in, and true to their period. As founder Spencer Jordan puts it: “A good prop is something you don’t notice - if you do, it’s wrong.”Now, that secret world opens to the public. &nbsp;Lyon &amp; Turnbull presents The Secret Life of Props: The Eccentric Trading Collection, a two-day single-owner auction offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to acquire pieces that have shaped British film and television for a generation. From 18th-century English armchairs to whimsical oddities, each lot carries a story far beyond the screen.For collectors, designers, and film lovers, the sale is more than an auction - it is an invitation to own a piece of cinematic history.&nbsp;Buyer's Guide:&nbsp;
