This is a stunning example of a late 19th century knockdown wardrobe, expertly crafted in rich, figured walnut with paneled doors and fluted accents. These types of wardrobes were designed to disassemble easily for transport, making them ideal for families relocating by wagon or train during the American frontier and Victorian eras.

Featuring two large paneled doors with ornate brass escutcheons and working skeleton key locks, the wardrobe opens to reveal spacious interior storage with adjustable shelves. Below are two dovetailed drawers with solid brass pulls, all resting on a molded plinth base. The wardrobe includes pegged joinery and a removable crown molding, typical of high-quality knockdown construction.

This piece showcases its age through original hand-planed surfaces, subtle wear, and patina that only over a century of use can provide. Both functional and beautiful, this wardrobe is not only a remarkable piece of antique furniture but also a rare survivor of the knockdown era — designed for mobility, built for longevity, and admired craftsmanship
