TV’s most stylish show is auctioning some of its most iconic pieces.

Whatever your feelings were about Mad Men (they should be warm, mind you), there can be little doubt that the show was amongst the most design-focussed in recent history.The sets were a marvel of mid-century design and were in part responsible for the huge price upsurge we’ve seen in classic pieces over the last few years. And now you have the chance to incorporate some of this design magic into your own home: June 1 Lionsgate and ScreenBid will be auctioning off a number of the amazing pieces from the show’s seven-season run. So along with Roger Sterling’s Ray-Bans and Peggy Olson’s typewriter, you can also lay your hands on these beauties:
