In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
It has 6 drawers, each with small turned wooden knobs.
The cabinet would have originally housed a collection of butterflies or insects and each drawer is paper lined. The drawers would have had sliding glass covers and the grooves are there so they could be easily replaced if desired.
It is in good original condition and is certainly a very usable item. There are signs of age and use and it has picked up a few knocks, scuffs and marks over the years but nothing untoward and it has a good aged patina. There are some minor marks, stains and small holes in the paper linings in the drawers but in general the drawers are clean and tidy and they all open and close smoothly.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
