Antique Jewelry Box Age Estimation Help

Is it mahogany or tiger wood, Measure 12"H Handles are brass tubing bent to fit, no signs of nails nor screws, handles anchored by unknown means as material covers backside of drawer, 1 drawer 3 compartments and three drawers with 12 furrows each. Asian or English? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thx in advance.

 

It looks like a specimen cabinet, maybe a model.
Are the drawers lined?

 

Forgot to picture the inside drawers.

 

And this one.

 

Id say newish Asian .A collectors cabinet for sure,but what ?

 

I'd stock it with pens...

 

As you can see, those rings don't sit comfortably there, no slits to hold them in place, so no support. Precious materials can bump into each other causing scratches and chipping.
Those long rows are designed for something else.
If you want to use it for jewellery, it is best to create buffers between the rings etc. Simple cotton wool will probably do the job, as long as the cabinet isn't moved around.

It is a sweet little cabinet though, and I agree with Johnny, it looks newish Asian.

 

Figured it out, an antique cigar chest. 'preciate you'alls help, thx..

 

I have never seen a cigar chest that was lined with fabric like that. Lining is not very functional or sanitary for a cigar box imho. Cigar boxes often have slits in the drawers, for circulation.

 

FWIW,
I, too, disagree with cigars.
And I, too, agree with new-ish Asian.

 

if you're thinking humidor....... it isn't !!

 

I think @Shangas would agree also, his pens would look nice there !!

 

Another vote for newish and Asian. Nice quality, though.

 

and the quality is nice as well...
