Just decoration. The two spots they are in are used for boxes/chests for challenges (like the silver badges box or the orders chest during tavern update) and also for holiday decorations during themed updates like the Cupid statue in the numbered picture above. When there isn't any special challenge or holiday decoration there would be two big empty spots there, which might look a bit weird, so that is why it defaults to the magnifying glass and inkwell, just to keep the aesthetics of the desktop up.
