    I'm not sure if that's called "knock down construction" or not. Seeing it's made from pine that may be a newer piece made to look old.

    Pegged tenons. Also think this a later piece than the arts and crafts period it emulates. There was a bit of a revival of this type of furniture in the 50s. Much of it was done in a more rustic form and in pine. This could date to then or be a later yet craft project.

    I remember these being sold as spice racks in the 1970s.
