I don't dispute what the desk is, but I do dispute the fact that it says anything about Lex. He's mentioned more than once in the canon that the castle is his father's, the furnishings are his father's, and he really doesn't care what happens to them. Lex's cars, Lex's Ty Nant bottles, Lex's clothes, those are all things he's chosen for himself. We haven't seen his bedroom yet, and that's the one room in the manor that I'd expect to actually reflect Lex's tastes. The only thing that desk and the ugly couch tell us is that Lionel (or Lillian, or the designer they chose) has chaotic, modernist tastes.
