<p>[QUOTE="BettyRubble, post: 9731615, member: 85146"]Verybrad, re: enigma - I had an idea. It reminded me strongly of custom cabinets that one sees in homes of ultra rich robber barons whose homes have become museums. Think the Breakers in Newport RI, or Stan Hywet, the Seiberling mansion in Akron OH. The utilitarian spaces in these homes look like nothing else I’ve seen anywhere else ever. They stored things no one uses anymore in quantities that don’t make sense today. Maybe this piece was for petticoats and whalebone corsets. Make up your own scenario![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
