Most of the antiques on sale in Britain are either stolen or fakes and international legislation has so far “proved toothless” at fighting the problem.
Art and auction houses in London have spent several years tightening security and the Cultural Objects Offences Act made it illegal to trade in goods thought to be tainted. Auction houses are as liable as banks for making sure that they are not being used to launder suspect money and the Art Loss Register, the company with a database of 160,000 stolen items, suggest the number of stolen works being sold at auction has fallen.
One of the most famous fakes acquired by the British Museum was the Crystal Skull, supposedly an Aztec symbol of death, bought in 1897. Recent analysis showed it was cut and polished with a type of rotating wheel used in 19th century Europe.

Philadelphia CBP Seizes $3 Million of Counterfeit Designer Jewelry from Hong Kong
May 17, 2018
PHILADELPHIA – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers in Philadelphia seized 23 pieces of counterfeit designer jewelry on March 20, and 64 pieces on April 3, both shipments coming from Hong Kong. If authentic, the combined seizure of jewelry would hold a manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of over $3 million.
CBP officers initially examined the first parcel on March 20. The parcel was destined to Cincinnati and was manifested as containing bangles from Hong Kong, a known source of counterfeit products. Officers discovered that the parcel contained what appeared to be various designer brand jewelry products of poor quality and packaging, and thus suspected it to be counterfeit.
On April 3, 2018, CBP Officers examined a second parcel that was manifested as containing an ornament, which instead contained various designer brand jewelry. This jewelry was also poorly packaged and the contents were of poor quality, which led to the suspicions of the authenticity of the product. Ultimately, the parcels contained bracelets, earrings, and rings bearing the names Cartier and Tiffany.
On both occasions, CBP officers submitted samples of the seized products to CBP’s Consumer Products and Mass Merchandising Centers for Excellence and Expertise, the agency’s trade experts. CBP’s CEE specialists worked with the trademark holders and determined the jewelry to be counterfeit. Had the jewelry been authentic, the combined seizures from March 20 and April 3 would have had an assessed MSRP of $3,014,750.00.
“Our primary concerns in situations like these are consumer safety and trademark protection. Customs and Border Protection will continue to work closely with our trade and consumer safety partners to identify and seize counterfeit and inferior merchandise, especially those products that pose potential harm to American consumers,” said Joseph Martella, CBP Area Port Director for the Area Port of Philadelphia.

"The seizure of counterfeit items exhibits the commitment and expertise of Customs and Border Protection officers and import specialists, and their vigilant attention to the ongoing mission of preventing unlawful and potentially dangerous imports into the United States," said Casey Owen Durst, CBP Director of Field Operations in Baltimore. “We will continue to put substantial efforts and resources into protecting our economy and American consumers, as well as securing our homeland and keeping our families safe.”
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, the number of IPR seizures increased 8 percent to 34,143 from 31,560 in FY 2016. The total estimated MSRP of the seized goods, had they been genuine, decreased to $1.2 billion from $1.38 billion in FY 2016.
