Description
This is truly a unique opportunity to own a piece of Penn State history. After a 100 years of gracing the Penn State University Park campus, many of the landmark American elm trees fell victim to elm yellow disease. Sadly, many of them died. The Penn State Elms Collection was established to repurpose the wood from these iconic trees through an exclusive line of distinctive hand-crafted furniture, diploma frames, plaques, and memorabilia. A portion of the proceeds from the Penn State Elms Collection has been used to plant replacement trees in the historic core of the campus.
The stand-up writing desk offered here has been donated by Roger Williams, former Executive Director of the Penn State Alumni Association. The desk was a gift to him from the staff of the PSAA when he retired in 2015. It has been a cherished possession, but never used, and now deserves to shine in all its glory and put to good use.
The desk, measuring 47” high, 26” deep, and 40” wide, features s hinged lift top and full size drawer. Completely made of Penn State elm wood, it comes with a certificate of authenticity and brass plate. It’s ready for you to stain and finish it to grace your own home or office!
