If that was filled with Fauxhiba I’d still buy it!

Not common to see the inlays like that in the lid. Definitely indicates a high-end product. 

Too bad the bottom is cracked. It's a great box.

Does anybody have any idea on the age of a box like this?

Is that an actual inlay to just burnishing on the wood?

Difficult to tell. Looking at it more closely it could be either.
