The pattern on the front looks very Japanese in style,are there any marks?

Wondering it this could be Tramp Art (folk art) or even a Salesman Sample......worth digging some more.  Can you open one of the draws to show the workmanship?

Thanks  ;)

The draws are not dovetailed but chamfered and glued mahogany.its the two pieces of bone that i find interesting i think they may be a early musical instrument
