Dumbledore‘s desk/office props

[Cloud]

Hi there! Dumbledore is my favourite character and I‘ve always been fascinated with all the magnificent items in his office. I would particularly love to recreate the top of his desk. If anyone of you had close up photos or even information on the items on there it would be amazing if you‘d post them here!

I have this picture if it's of any help. What have you found so far?

Hi,
I also love all the props in Dumbledores office. A couple of years back a friend gave me a brass sundial that she said her parents brought in India. I was rewatching goblet of fire the other day and noticed Dumbledore had the exact same sundial on his desk!

I'd really like to get that brass dragon

thanks, just wish I knew if it was made for the movie or if it was a thrift shop find?

As Adam Savage says "Think of it from a prop-makers pov". If they aren't going to have time to make, cast and paint a prop then they will just find something to fit the requirements of the shot. So, i'd say it's a found item.

If anyone‘s still interested I have found some better pictures by now:

-gold alarm clock
-wooden/ivory magnifying glass from the first films
(Does anyone know what that gold thing next to the feather is though?)

-Russian teaglass holder with black and white enamel

-sherbet lemon dish

-gold letter basket

-brass dragon

-statue of a boar fighting a dog

The only things I could find an exact replica of are
-the gold and pearl magnifying glass from the later films

-his crystal orb (which is exactly the same elephant one they use in divination lessons, you can take the NC replica and just swap out the orb for a bigger one)

If you mean the brass/gold object next to the left hand end of the quill.... The on closer inspection it appears to be a set of dividers used in cartography...

does anyone know if the dragon statue on his desk was something bought in an antique store?
