About us

Welcome to NRprops! Our journey began in 2020, born out of a shared love for the magical world of Narnia and a desire to create high-quality, detailed props. As long-time fans, we were disappointed by the lack of authentic, well-made Narnia collectibles on the market. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands, crafting props for ourselves that truly captured the essence of the books and films.

It didn’t take long before others noticed our work. We began as a partner for a large Etsy store, where our pieces quickly gained attention for their craftsmanship and accuracy. Encouraged by the overwhelming positive feedback, we took the next big step and launched our own Etsy shop, dedicated to bringing Narnia fans the props they deserve.

Today, our shop has grown to offer more than 20 meticulously crafted Narnia props, each one designed with an obsessive focus on quality and detail. Whether you’re a casual collector or a die-hard fan, we’re confident that our products will transport you back to the magic of Narnia with their accuracy and beauty. We're passionate about what we do and are committed to making sure every piece we create is something we would be proud to display in our own collection.

Our Work

In the world of prop-making, there are three main categories of props used in film production:

  1. Hero Props: These are the stars of the prop world, designed for close-up shots. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, hero props are often made using real metals and premium materials, ensuring they look as authentic as possible. While they are stunning, their production requires significant time and expense, making them impractical for commercial sale.

  2. Urethane Props: Lightweight, durable, and highly versatile, urethane props are ideal for large-scale production. They are a popular choice for scenes requiring multiple identical props, offering both accuracy and efficiency.

  3. Mixed Props: Bridging the gap between hero and urethane props, these combine real materials with urethane elements. This approach strikes a balance between authenticity and practicality, providing a high-quality finish without the complexity or cost of a full hero prop.

At NRprops, we specialize in Hero worthy mixed props designs. Our focus is on creating pieces that are both true to the originals and accessible for enthusiasts. We pour our expertise into delivering stunning, high-quality replicas that capture the essence of the original designs. This is why you still can see us work with leathers such as for the belts with their accurate patterns and metals for the buckles and most of the props.

Our Materials

Our mission is to create props that look, feel, and last like the real thing — not just replicas.

To achieve this, we work with a range of premium materials:

  • Resins:
    We primarily use casting resins like polyurethane, known for their fast curing time and durable finish — perfect for strong, life-like props. For finer detail, we use 3D printing resins with our 3D printers, allowing us to sculpt intricate designs with precision.

  • Leather:
    Real leather straps, belts, and accessories are a core part of our builds. They add both authenticity and durability to our props.

  • Metal Plating:
    There's a common misconception that metal plating is often of bad quality and destroys easily, the truth is, when done right, metal-plated components add striking realism and quality. Because we are not real blacksmiths we carefully plate real metal onto parts like buckles, fittings, and fine details. This technique gives our props the true weight and finish of metal — without compromising on functionality or price. Metal plating is the closest we can come to metal props.

By combining resin, leather, and metal, we create props that aren’t just visually accurate — they’re immersive. We’ve honed our craft to become the best in the realm, and when you hold one of our pieces, you’ll feel that. This is the magic, brought to life.


What The Narnia Community Is Saying

This piece is everything I dreamed and more. The detail work is stunning, down to the tiniest leaf. The quality and craftsmanship are amazing. The packing and shipping was done with incredible care. I could have told my friends it was the actual movie prop and they wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. It's amazing on every level! I couldn't recommend it more.

This shop is amazing. Apart from the incredible craftsmanship and beautiful movie accurate designs the customer service is NEXT level. They will respond within minutes if you have any questions regarding your prop and make sure you're always up to date with your order. It does take patience, sometimes orders take long to arrive but it's totally worth it. I'm so happy with how my prop turned out. If I showed this prop to a friend and said I got it at an auction and it's the one from the movie – they'd totally believe me. :)

AMAZING workmanship and AWESOME customer service. I needed some modifications for a very specific project I had in mind and they were very happy to oblige and work with me to achieve what I needed. First class customer service. I cannot stress enough how thrilled I am with the result
