How do I dismantle a large wardrobe?

Most large knockdown wardrobes use a system of internal bolts, pegged cornices and interlocking plinths that allow the carcase to separate into flat panels. Marking the position of each panel before disassembly ensures correct reassembly. Having an assistant supports the heavy timber sections and mirrored doors while fixings are loosened to prevent structural strain on the original joints.

Will a triple wardrobe fit my room?

Triple wardrobes and large armoires require substantial floor space and generous ceiling clearance to accommodate heavy projecting cornices. Measuring the total height including decorative crests prevents installation issues. Checking access routes through doorways and stairwells is essential, particularly for non-dismantling cabinets that must enter the room in one piece.

How do I care for antique wood finishes?

Maintaining antique timber involves applying a microcrystalline wax polish sparingly to nourish the wood surface and protect against moisture. Avoid silicone-based sprays that degrade traditional French polish over time. Keeping wardrobes away from direct heat sources and sunlight prevents timber shrinkage, warping and veneer lifting across large panel doors.

What is the difference between an armoire and a wardrobe?

Armoire traditionally describes a tall continental cupboard with doors enclosing shelves or hanging space, often originating from France and provincial European workshops. Wardrobe specifically denotes British furniture designed primarily for hanging garments. Over time, the terms became interchangeable in marketplace descriptions for large freestanding bedroom storage cabinets.
