    Hi Tony,
    Items like this come under the category of Specimen Cabinets.

    People in the Victorian area would keep unusual small items as conversation pieces in the specimen cabinet. Some were under glass as yours is and some were cabinets with lots of drawers.

    Hard to tell by the photograph but I think yours is a mahogany copy.
    all the best.
