Props originated as theatrical property used by actors during the renaissance, and are still used today in theatre and motion pictures. Props are objects used by actors during their performance, whether on stage or behind the camera. Larger props are sometimes known simply as set decoration, and by definition only become props if they are physically used by the actor.
The purpose of props is to enhance the reality of the scene or setting.

It is essential that props are absolutely accurate to their genre, otherwise they will look out of place, and you can be sure the audience will notice.
