prop hire
metroretro has always been involved with prop hire, supplying pieces from stock for Film, TV, Theatre, Installation and Exhibition use. This is an area of the business which is to be expanded to include ultimately the hire of the warehouse space itself. A collection of hire only pieces is being accumulated and will be catalogued fully in early 2010. In the meantime here is a selction of images featuring some of the stock so far.
