In an art heist valued at approximately €88 million ($102 million)[1], Napoleonic‑era jewels were recently stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris, signifying a tremendous loss to national heritage in the country of France.  

Amidst a wide-ranging investigation into the seized jewels, Leila Amineddoleh, Chair of the Firm's Art Law Practice, published an article on The Conversation, as well as spoke with The Washington Post, John Oakley Show, and FRANCE 24 ENGLISH about the origin of the jewels belonging to royals, including Empress Marie Louise, second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the likely diminished cultural value of the jewels if they become dismantled by the thieves.
