<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 3385690, member: 5170&quot;]Yeah, I&#039;ve never seen it&#039;s like. That&#039;s one of the fun things about this site! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A paper lining is a terrible choice for anything to do with food. However, the paper seems old, and the piece has some aesthetic movement elements, so I&#039;m getting an 1870s-80s vibe. Due to the uniqueness of the piece it may have been custom-made by someone with woodworking skill for a specific purpose and/or client. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will say that, despite the paper, I think it had something to do with food use or storage, at least in the bottom (cupboard) part. I&#039;ll agree on it&#039;s German origins; the feet and skirt/valence strongly resemble local woodworking traditions here in the &quot;Missouri Rhineland.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
