What is the difference between a wardrobe and a compactum?

A standard wardrobe focuses primarily on vertical hanging space behind full-length doors, occasionally supplemented by a single base drawer. A compactum integrates multiple storage formats within one frame, combining hanging compartments with banks of interior drawers and sliding linen trays.

How do I care for antique timber finishes?

Maintain polished hardwood surfaces by applying traditional beeswax periodically, buffing gently to nourish the grain without building up heavy chemical layers. Keep wooden furniture away from direct heat sources and dramatic humidity fluctuations to prevent timber splitting or veneer lifting.

Are these pieces suitable for modern hangers?

Some earlier pieces feature shallower internal depths or front-to-back hanging pegs rather than modern side-to-side metal rails. Measure the internal depth carefully to ensure standard clothes hangers fit comfortably inside the enclosed cabinet space.
