More red flags.... Same people have another very similar armoire.

I believe these cabinets were recently made. Back in the 1800s, a home's tax was based on the number of rooms in the house, so homes didn't have closets. A closet was considered a room. They had armoires for clothes storage. There are no accommodations for hanging clothes in these cabinets, hence, I don't think they date back to the 1800s.
