Shop Houzz: The Historian’s Haven (85 photos)

Accents From Antiquity

Any office style can be elevated to classic library status with just a handful of the right old-world accents. Add a desktop telescope and classic pen stand to a sleek glass desk to bring a vintage vibe into a modern study. In a Victorian study, industrial bookends and a wooden letter tray will give the space a more comfortable, lived-in feel.

Pieces of the Past

The important, weighty subject of history is deserving of study in a space that’s as dignified and rugged as history itself. Embrace the best of the past with a plush leather executive chair and a highly polished desk stained with a distinguished mahogany or cherry finish. Pay homage to history’s less refined moments with weathered wood.

Shed a Little Light on History

The study of the past is an illuminating pursuit, as long as you have the right lighting to shine on your history books. Adjustable-arm desk lamps put you in control, letting you shift easily between studying at the desk and kicking back in your chair. Keep the look classic with a traditional brass or stained glass lamp, or bring in a touch of modern with a sleek silver finish.
