Have not weighed in on this since I know next to nothing about tortoise shell furniture. Would assume mid to late 19th century and European.
Graining was done with ink rollers and, in this case, meant to resemble mahogany. The wood is then stained and lacquered. Base wood is often...
I think the reason you are not finding much is that this is not that old and is just used furniture at this point. There is not any real...

Welcome to the real world where items are worth a lot in theory but hard to sell and nearly impossible to get top dollar for. 1st Dibs is a site...

Looking through those sold examples, I find none exactly like yours in a full size. Value is going to depend on where you are and how you are...
Pegged tenons. Also think this a later piece than the arts and crafts period it emulates. There was a bit of a revival of this type of furniture...

Separate names with a comma.
