Limited Editions has dated this piece to the Edwardian era.
It looks great and with the ability to open the top to give an excellent server space at 55cms by 78 it is perfect for the above suggestions. However, if they a not your cup of tea so to speak, it makes a great side table or lamp table but with the ability to open as already mentioned. The inlays in the mahogany certainly help to make this a lovely little table and at such a great price too.
