Can someone maybe tell me what this object is and what it was or is used for?

And if you unscrew the cock or peacock in the middle, the 5 covers will open:

Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably a companion snuff box, where the table owner at some point offers his guests a sniff.

Thanks for your suggestion Jilles, but didn't a snuff box consist of a single box? This one has 5! Can't find a comparable image anywhere else either?

Maybe you can add the dimensions put? These cannot be deduced from the photo (because I don't know how wide the joints between your bathroom tiles are).

Book warehouse, I have added the approximate dimensions. The object is currently with my mother-in-law. Thanks for the tip in any case.
