The move of the Society from Queen's Gardens necessitated the sale of some furniture and curtains. This material includes correspondence with The Curtain Exchange, Lloyds International Auction Galleries, and Christie's. It also includes a Catalogue for Christie's Auction of Furniture and Decorative Objects held on 11 October 2005, when some of the Society's furniture was in the sale.

As part of the Quaritch Wales bequest several items of furniture were donated for use of the Royal Asiatic Society. Originally there were 6 items of furniture with the addition of a small Thai manuscript chest (see lists in QW/14/5). Of these three items have subsequently been sold when the Society moved premises. The remaining ones are listed within this series.
