Create a brief description of a dreary scene inside a home with shelves, placard, and a desk.

This tiny one-room cottage is quite cramped amidst all the clutter that has been packed into it. An oversized oak desk dominates the northern side of the room, just beneath a lustrous silver placard that displays several parchment titles and their prices. Various cases built to hold delicate papers have been piled atop shelves and racks that flank the desk, while the larger ones hang in display upon the wall.
