Desk & Library

Smart and practical ideas for desk and library reflecting original designs from the 19th and early 20th centuries, including magnifiers, desk organizers, lamps, compasses and ornaments. During the 19th century more paper and correspondence drove the need for more complex and more specialized desks, such as the roll top desk, it provided a relatively fast and cheap way to lock up paperwork without having to file everything by the end of the day.
