How do I dismantle a triple wardrobe?

Most large wardrobes separate into distinct components consisting of a cornice, base, left and right hanging wings, and a central section. The panels typically lock together using internal bolts or knockdown fittings rather than permanent glue. Careful labelling of each component during disassembly ensures the panels reassemble squarely in a new room without binding the doors.

How do I date a mahogany wardrobe?

Victorian examples often display heavy architectural cornices and deep flame mahogany veneers, while Edwardian pieces frequently incorporate lighter satinwood crossbanding and delicate string inlay. Internal hardware such as brass door bolts and lock stamps also provide reliable chronological markers.

You must measure both the floor footprint and the overall height, accounting for the projecting crown moulding. Consider ceiling clearance during assembly, as knockdown wardrobes often require vertical space to tilt components upright.
