Los Angeles is losing another piece of its production history. Faux Library Studio Props, a North Hollywood institution that has supplied film and TV productions with antique furniture, décor, and its signature faux books for over two decades, is closing its doors for good. The 90,000-square-foot prop house is shutting down amid the ongoing struggles facing Hollywood’s production ecosystem.
Founded by Marc Meyer, the inventor of the faux book, the company revolutionized set dressing by creating lightweight, realistic-looking books that made it easier for productions to build their worlds. From classic blockbusters to prestige TV, Faux Library’s collection has been a go-to resource for set designers across the industry. But now, with fewer productions in motion and vendors struggling to stay afloat, another critical part of Hollywood’s production infrastructure is being forced to shut down.
The good news? Industry professionals, collectors, and film enthusiasts can support the business in its final days by purchasing pieces of Hollywood history. Faux Library Studio Props is holding a massive closeout auction, selling off its entire $6 million inventory in three phases. The sale is open to the public, and bidding runs through this Friday. Buyers can visit the North Hollywood warehouse in person from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, or browse the auction website to bid online.
This isn’t just a liquidation—it’s a chance to preserve a piece of Hollywood’s past. For those who want to help, now is the time to step up and take home a piece of cinematic history. Here’s the link to the auction: RL Spears Auction
