Antique Wardrobe

an antique wardrobe

A wardrobe can refer to a set of clothing or a piece of furniture -- sort of like a freestanding closet. This article is about the furniture.

Most wardrobes have a section for hanging clothes. Many also have drawers, shelves, a mirror and places for jewelry, make-up or other items you might use when getting dressed. Some wardrobes have wheels to make them easier to move around. A wardrobe has the advantage over a closet that it can be moved, so it provides greater flexibility in room arrangements.

Modern homes tend to have built in closets instead of using separate wardrobes. Fancier closets eliminate the need for bureaus too by having drawer and shelf space.

Some travel chests or suitcases were designed to stand upright and hold clothes much like a traveling wardrobe.
