LVC's screen worn costume from the Grand Duel recently sold at auction for £5,000 (£6,250 with premium).
Fantastic piece that is screen matched as well. I'm sure the winner will enjoy it. Actually, I know he will...
Catalog description-
Sheriff Clayton's (Lee Van Cleef) costume with screen-matched trousers from Giancarlo Santi's spaghetti Western The Grand Duel. Clayton wore his costume throughout the film, as he sought justice for Philip Wermeer (Alberto Dentice), a man wrongly accused of murder. The trousers screen match the climatic duelling scene through the placement of the pinstripes. This lot comes from the archives of the Italian costume company Costumi d'Arte.
The costume comprises a black satin frock coat with a suede collar and a handwritten label in the neckline reading "Liy Van Clyft [sic]"; a black corduroy waistcoat labelled "Liy Van Cliyft [sic]"; and a pair of black trousers with white pinstripes labelled "Liy Van Clyft [sic]". Each clothing item has interior labels from Italian costume supplier Costumi d'Arte Peruzzi. The costume pieces have some very minor discolouration.
Additional Provenance: This lot comes from the archives of the famed Italian costume company Costumi d'Arte. The company has been supplying some of the biggest film productions in the world with costumes for over 100 years.
Estimate: £5,000 - 10,000
