A+M has been a London institution for 40 years and stocks more than one million props. Recent productions to have utilised the company include Netflix series The Crown and period feature Outlaw King, as well as Disney’s Beauty And The Beast and upcoming Aladdin.
There’s been no official confirmation yet what will happen to the stock, but a source with knowledge of the events said some props have been sold to productions, some have gone to auction, and some have been scrapped.
