The study room was a space for study and intellectual reflection. Its design was characterised by elegance, quality furniture and adequate lighting. It was a place reserved for reading and could sometimes be used for academic meetings, debates or intellectual activities in small groups.
It was equipped with appropriate, elegant and functional furniture consisting of a desk, bookshelves, cupboards and a well-stocked library, and was decorated with works of art. It was an environment conducive to reading, research and reflection.
Lighting was an important aspect of these rooms. The windows were usually large to let in natural light, but candelabra, oil lamps or candles were also used to illuminate the space at night.
