I'd like to know if there is a specific name for this type of wardrobe, how old it is, and what type of wood it is made of. It's incredibly heavy.
Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

its very nice !!!
Thanks Sean! Not bad for $50. I love it! There has to be a specific name for this form though.
your very welcome fortheloveofdog.
It's quite short and the dresser and wardrobe share the same wall. It has a small foot protruding from the wardrobe to stop it from toppling over so... maybe, wild guess here but... maybe it came of a ship? The dresser looks as if it's burl of some sort.
Take the draws out, look inside.and out for a stamp or number and keep us up to.date. Really is beautiful.
The pictures are blurry and show no details of construction or hardware and there are no dimensions. I am assuming you are directing attention toward the upright single door unit.
I was looking around the Internet trying to get an idea of how to date a few antiques given to me thru the family. I think this may be the same dresser I was looking for info on. However, I can't tell what the feet look like. Is it on rollers?
I have one just like it and from the research I've done, I thought it was a 1920s chifferobe. Mine has the original rollers. Any idea who made it?
