desk set
Matched writing supplies
A desk set is a coordinated collection of accessories for a writing desk, typically including items like a pen holder, letter opener, blotter, inkwell, and small tray or organizer.
Desk sets were once common professional gifts and status symbols: He received an engraved desk set when he retired.
The term now sounds dated, as most desk work has gone digital.
