This is brass or copper, door on one side, is about 30 inches tall and 16 inches wide, has a floor in the bottom that can open to a compartment. It has three containers that hang on the sides, one is a rectangle one is round like a cup and the other is six sided. The top has like a handle on it. No burn mark as some guessing it was a light with candles but I think not.
The originals were for selling hot foods like roasted chestnuts on the streets. Since it most likely has a Chinese origin, and miraculously none of the accessories seem to be missing from most of the ones I have seen for sale lately, I suspect most are reproductions, unless the provenance can be proven otherwise.
