Thanks, mod
A lot about the looks of it reminds me of one I found a while ago. Had a very similar chuck, and it turned out to be a specialty lathe used for repairing valve parts, the type of valves used for steam or water.

I"m in agreement. I went back and looked at the valve lathe, and it's quite different from the lathe shown. The valve lathe doesn't have a carriage, since it was only made for facing or "dressing" valve seats. The only thing it shared with this lathe is a similar chuck.The chuck is an old Whiton (USA). Here is an 1896 catalog page from a reprint of one of Lukin's books that had a Britannia (England) lathe catalog in the back. The prices are in shillings. The 5" chuck with one set of jaws at 32s would be about 209 pounds ($256) now.
The chucks could be fitted to any suitable size lathe, so they do not help identify the lathe itself.
I was interested to see that the chucks were sold with one set of "lathe jaws" (as pictured), but could also be bought with both the "lathe jaws" and a set of "drill jaws."

The tool holder is quite unique.
Maybe the OP's lathe is English?
