The theft took place in a lorry park in Mexborough in Yorkshire and the production house also told a weekly publication about the items stolen in a bid to recover them, if the thieves decide to sell them.
Meanwhile, the stolen items include a replica of an 1897 Imperial Coronation Fabergé coach egg, 12 sets of silver candelabra, seven gold candelabra, a clock face from a William IV grandfather clock (but not the long case in which it was enclosed), some Russian religious icons, a 10-piece silver dressing table and St Louis gilt crystal glassware and decanters.
Alison Harvey told Variety in a statement, “The items stolen are not necessarily in the best condition and therefore of limited value for resale. However, they are valuable as pieces to the UK film industry.”
The estimated worth of the items stolen is around $200,000.
