4 Vintage-Inspired Office Accessories at Wisteria

We're not sure what era these pieces remind us of, but in our hackneyed grasp of period decor we imagine the study of Sherlock Holmes, if he were a woman. Maybe not for everyone, maybe not for everyday, but kind of fun.

The mirror and metal bin are pretty cool in their own right, and the file box is made from a patchwork of Indian tapestries.

• Inlaid Bone Floral Mirror
• Sleek and Sturdy Metal Bin
• Magnifying Glass with Stand
• Vintage File Folder

Ohhh....I'm about to get a new home office and a new magnifying glass would make it that much more awesome.

Thanks!

I wonder if Santa can get it down the chimney...

hackneyed
adj.
1. Banal; trite.

Is hackneyed actually the word you were trying to use to describe your grasp of period decor?

erm â¦ in 95 percent of AT's post the magnifying stand would be counted as "clutter" :-P

hackneyed |ËhaknÄd|
adjective
(of a phrase or idea) lacking significance through having been overused; unoriginal and trite : hackneyed old sayings.

That's what my computer dictionary says. I have to agree with KTG in that your use of the word is a bit off.

*in before the infamous Princess Bride quote* ;)
