The House is managed by the Emery Walker Trust, a charity whose objectives are to: conserve, maintain and display the House and its contents, and promote the advancement of the study and appreciation of the Arts & Crafts Movement.

These items listed have been in storage at the Emery Walker House since it first opened to the public. All proceeds from these sales directly benefit the preservation and maintenance of the House and its unique collections.
