Pierce Brosnan`s Goldeneye suit sells for almost £20,000 at auction

22-Dec-2007 • Collecting

Two pairs of James Bond's Northampton-made shoes have been sold at auction for a combined total of more than £2,000.
The Church's size 11s were worn by Pierce Brosnan during filming for his 007 debut Goldeneye and went under the hammer at Christie's in London on Wednesday - reports the Chronicle.

One of the lots, a pair of brown leather brogues, fetched nearly double their £600 estimate when they were snapped up for £1,125.

The second lot, a similar pair of brogues in black with an estimated price of between £800 and £1,200, fetched slightly less and were sold for £1,000.

Goldeneye was released in 1995 and was the first of Brosnan's four outings as the famous secret agent.

Costume designer Lindy Hemming settled on Church's shoes to complement the tailoring of Bond's Brioni three piece suit, which was also sold at the auction.

The auction also featured production materials from the film and others in the series. A set of production drawings by Syd Cain for GoldenEye sold for £720, a three-piece suit worn by Brosnan on the film sold for £19,200 (ten times the estimate), production items from Thunderball sold for £720, similarly for From Russia With Love sold for £1,440, and contact sheets from Dr No sold for £456. Some of the 007 items were not sold.
