This is a really unusual mahogany box, I have never seen something like this before. It has a caddy moulding around the top. The lid slides within a groove and it has a piece of sprung steel so is that it locks when closed. To unlock the lid and open, there is a small piece of wood which needs to be pushed up. I would guess this box was bespoke made for something specific.
