That looks like a half mortise lock to me, typical of the 19th century. I think we need to see some good clear pics of the hardware and the back side.

As for the hidden drawer,, I would bet it was used for either serving pieces of silverware or knives and cutlery !!

That would be a good place to hide them if you have guests that think they are medicine.  ;D

You have never seen a sign posted in an eatery stating .........


The silverware is not medicine.

So please do not take after meals.
