Examples of the Museum's original furniture still survive.

These include cases for plaster casts, book shelves, and a coin cabinet. Modern curatorial standards, and constraints of space, make it hard to use these items in the modern Ruskin Gallery.

A new use has been found for this table. It is now located at the Guild of St George's recently constructed Ruskin Studio at Uncllys Farm, near Bewdley, Worcestershire.

The fabric insert is based on the Vine wallpaper pattern designed by William Morris in 1873: though rather faded, it is a modern addition, as the original photographs show.
