Write a detailed description of a dreary scene inside a shop with books, an oil lamp, a rock, and leather curtain.

A pewter oil lamp hangs on a rusty chain from the shadows above, casting a hazy amber glow on a cluttered countertop and the one-armed attendant behind it. The man's booted foot rests atop a sloppy stack of books on the counter. Occasionally he glances at three hourglasses perched on a rock and grudgingly shuffles through a leather curtain when one runs down.
