Sorry! I for a moment thought you were talking about the table but! if you are not, the item under the table is a 'coal scuttle' if I am not mistaken..here are a few others...:-)

I'm with inky. The form is typical of a coal scuttle.
English registration marks.
My reading is: April 4, 1870.
The II above the 4 refers to the Class of Material, in this case wood.
