<p>[QUOTE="MaD21, post: 3675752, member: 18787"]I have a similar knockdown. I was told by original family who owned it that it was built around 1900. The person who gave it to me was downsizing. I love it and every scratch on it. There is no furniture company name. The knockdowns were supposedly popular in the Baltimore city's narrow row homes and used for closet space.</p><p>I took a lock off and brought it to an antique shop. The owner rummaged through a container of keys and found 2 that worked. I was thrilled because the doors can only stay closed by latching with key. It resides in my living room as a liquor cabinet. It had shelves, but no pole for clothes when it was passed on to me. I will never get rid of it!! It works really well with my semi contemporary eclectic decor. It helps that the room as vaulted ceilings, my house is small. Ill send a photo if I am able. I have not painted or refinished the piece. Its history speaks for itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
