The museum houses a few antique leather products including a 16th century container of Italian origin, 19th century cutlery case and sewing box of European origin. The leather mounted European origin cutlery case is designed to hold forks and knives in a stylish manner, which is mounted with leather and decorated in stamped designs in golden colour making it more elegant. This was used in the early 1800s. The 16th century container of Italian origin is mounted on leather and was used to store gunpowder. This container was made from dark coloured leather with punched design of animal motifs. The leather sewing box is carved and covered in fine leather and designed with drawers, compartments and brass fittings in a graceful way. This too is of European origin and dates back to 1846. R.Selvam recommended CSIR-CLRI to have a separate building to house the Leather Museum permanently at the campus.
