The collection, which includes a 17th-century painting by a Dutch master and rare Oriental carved ivory figures, once belonged to Philip Meadows, who bought them with the proceeds of dealing in Class A drugs.
Meadows, now 70, was in possession of cocaine worth almost ยฃ150,000 when he was arrested in Doncaster three years ago.
During a life of crime, he amassed over 100 works of art, pieces of silver, precious ornaments, jewellery and fine furniture.
