It’s a guess but I’d bet it was used for stationary and envelopes.  The drawer could have been used for different writing pens.  Possibly calligraphy or some such fancy script.  It appears to be some kind of paper holding device.  The only caveat regarding my theory is most paper holders are designed to let the paper lay flat.
