Citizen Kane sled saved from destruction sells for nearly $15m

The iconic sled from the classic film "Citizen Kane" has been sold at auction for nearly $15 million. The sled, known as "Rosebud," was one of at least three wooden sleds made for the film's production. The sled, which played a pivotal role in the film's plot, was saved from destruction and acquired by a private collector. The auction house, Sotheby's, described the sled as a "cultural icon" and a "tangible link to one of the most significant films in the history of cinema." The sale of the sled reflects the enduring legacy of "Citizen Kane" and the continued fascination with its iconic imagery. The film, directed by Orson Welles, is widely regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made, and the sled has become a symbol of its lasting impact on the film industry and popular culture.
