Bring a treasured piece of Chicago retail history into your seasonal traditions with this Marshall Field & Company ceramic ornament. Its name recalls the State Street landmark, glowing holiday window displays, the Walnut Room, and the familiar Great Clock. The company began in 1852 and became woven into generations of city life, enduring major changes before its stores were renamed in 2006. A meaningful keepsake for Chicago families, former shoppers, and collectors who remember this celebrated department store.
Marshall Field & Company began in Chicago in 1852 as Potter Palmer’s dry goods store, P. Palmer & Company. Marshall Field joined Levi Z. Leiter and Palmer in partnership on January 4, 1865; after Palmer withdrew in 1867, the business became Field, Leiter & Company. Field bought out Leiter in 1881, giving the company its lasting name. The store survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, reopening within weeks, and became a major State Street shopping destination. Its wholesale and retail operations expanded, and branch stores followed in the late 1920s. The business later acquired department stores in other regions, including Frederick & Nelson in 1929 and Halle Brothers in 1970. British-American Tobacco acquired the company in 1982; Dayton-Hudson bought it in 1990, followed by May Company in 2004 and Federated Department Stores in 2005. In 2006, the Marshall Field’s stores were renamed Macy’s. The State Street flagship, in the historic Marshall Field and Company Building, became a Macy’s flagship while retaining historic nameplates and fixtures.
