Restored Jeweled Snuffboxes from Paris Heist Set for V&A Display

Two 18th-century snuffboxes taken in a Paris museum heist have been restored ahead of a V&A display.

The treasures were damaged during a 2024 robbery in which axe-wielding thieves targeted a luxury objects exhibition.

Conservators worked carefully to repair the boxes after the attack, bringing the pair back into view for the public.

A third snuffbox stolen in the same theft is still missing.
