To show a glimpse, maybe a bit more than that, with objects on your desk. To some extent size is a factor here, but combining the practical with excellent taste is the main focus. Large or small… Beautifully finished wood, leather, brass? Combinations?
Take the brass/ mahogany desktop shotgun shell, showing an interest. Beauty. Unusual. Than our aptly named valet trays. Mahogany, stitched leather, inside and out.

Hard to find craftsmanship. Practical too… Above all keep it uncluttered, only a few well chosen objects to show style and tell a story. Many choices, so little time!
