Netflix has issued a plea to help recover the items, although the incident will not affect production. It has suffered the theft during the production for its fifth and final season set to debut in November.
According to Variety, an estimated 350 items were taken during the heist, including a replica Fabergé egg, a grandfather clock face, a dressing table, crystal glassware, and silver and gold candelabras. The theft, which took place in a lorry park in Mexborough in Yorkshire while a unit was shooting nearby, is being investigated by the South Yorkshire police. As per the outlet, South Yorkshire police are currently investigating the heist and the production will reportedly continue filming.
The items include a replica of an 1897 Imperial Coronation Faberge 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.
“We can confirm the antiques have been stolen and we hope that they are found and returned safely,” shared a spokesperson from Netflix. “Replacements will be sourced, there is no expectation that filming will be held up.”
As per Variety, Alison Harvey, set director on ‘The Crown’, told the outlet, “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.”
