Write a detailed description of a dreary scene inside a shop with a contraption, a display case, and a light.

Scorch marks and soot stain the canvas near a small workbench in one corner of this modest shop. An intricate contraption hangs from the ridgepole. A confusing jumble of polished brass mirrors and gears, the contraption serves to magnify light from a single oil lamp and focus it on a single display case in the center of the area.
