Wardrobes

Wardrobes: antique, vintage, and solid wood

A antique wardrobe is the counterpart to a wardrobe from a furniture store: solid, dismantlable, full of character, and often larger than anything built today. At Hauptstadt Möblerei, you will find a changing selection of vintage and antique wardrobes: the Wilhelminian-era wardrobe made of oak or softwood, the Art Nouveau wardrobe with a mirrored door, the Biedermeier wardrobe made of cherrywood, the English wardrobe made of mahogany, and the mid-century wardrobe made of teak or walnut. All restored in our Berlin workshop.

Wardrobes by type

• Two-door wardrobe: The classic size for bedrooms and hallways, often with a clothes rail and shelves.
• Three-door wardrobe with mirror: Wilhelminian-era and Art Nouveau styles, with the central door as a mirror and plenty of storage space.
• Hallway wardrobe and coat cupboard: Narrow, for the hallway, often with a hat shelf.
• Farmhouse wardrobe: Softwood, sometimes painted, rustic and sturdy.
• Mid-century wardrobe: Sliding doors, teak or walnut, slender legs. See Mid Century.

Dismantlable: the major advantage of old wardrobes

Antique wardrobes were built for moving: they can be dismantled without tools into side panels, back panel, doors, base, and cornice, allowing them to fit through any stairwell. How each wardrobe is dismantled and the dimensions of its individual parts are listed with each piece.

Used wardrobes, restored

We inspect doors, hinges, and locks and treat the surfaces. Photos from all sides, dimensions, and a condition description are provided for each piece. More wardrobes under Cabinets and Antiques.

Frequently asked questions about wardrobes

Will an antique wardrobe fit through my stairwell?

Almost always, because it is transported dismantled. The dimensions of the largest individual part are listed with each piece.

Does an old wardrobe have a clothes rail?

Many do. What is included is stated in the description.

How deep is an antique wardrobe?

Old wardrobes are often shallower than modern ones because clothes used to be stored differently. Check the depth of each piece if you want to hang clothes hangers sideways.

Do antique wardrobes fit in modern bedrooms?

A light softwood or Biedermeier wardrobe fits in almost any bedroom; a dark Wilhelminian-era wardrobe becomes the focal point of the room. Matching Bedside tables and Dressers can be found in our dedicated collections.
