Description :

This institutional oak desk is a documented example of Commonwealth of Massachusetts furnishings, bearing a clear “COM of Mass.” marking along with its original Morgan Memorial Stores order tag—a rare survival that firmly anchors its provenance. Produced through Morgan Memorial’s vocational workshop programs, the desk reflects the organization’s emphasis on durable, serviceable construction for state and charitable institutions.

The lot includes the matching chair, consistent in finish and wear, reinforcing the piece’s institutional origin and completeness. Together, the desk and chair present as a cohesive set with strong academic and archival value.

Wear is consistent with long public‑sector use, with the desk retaining its original finish, hardware, and structural integrity. The combination of state marking, surviving order tag, and accompanying chair makes this set particularly suitable for academic collections, museum study rooms, or research environments focused on New England public administration, vocational training history, or early–mid 20th‑century institutional material culture.



Dimensions : 34 in L x 5 ft W x 31 in H
