The latest chapter of Scaramanga’s business fairytale began in June last year when the firm received an order from props buyers for the dark fairytale sequel for 10 padlocks – eight antique and two reproduction.

Now they’re appearing on big screens worldwide in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil starring Angelina Jolie as the deceived fairy turned wicked fairy godmother.

It is the third major movie this year to use the firm’s wares as props – they also supplied brass and iron antique padlocks and a set of school ropes to Disney’s Dumbo, and a very large 1920s leather suitcase to Laurel and Hardy biopic Stan & Ollie.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is Scaramanga’s third Disney film – it also saw more than 100 of its medieval-looking products used in the 2014 original Maleficent.

To mark the new accolade, Scaramanga is creating a special display in its Cupar store.

Speaking about the firm’s latest big-screen success, Scaramanga founder and managing director Carl Morenikeji said: “We’re naturally delighted to see our products chosen for the second Maleficent movie thanks to our reputation as specialists in vintage lifestyle products for your home.

“It was a real thrill to see so many of products appear in the original 2014 live-action Maleficent and to be recognised with this new role in the franchise is great.”
