Finding the Right Wardrobes-armoires for You
When shopping for antique and vintage wardrobes and armoires for your home, there are several things to keep in mind, not least of which is question number 1:
What is the difference between an armoire and a wardrobe?
The difference between an armoire and a wardrobe is actually simple: An armoire is merely an ornate wardrobe. A wardrobe is a tall, streamlined storage cabinet that usually has some combination of drawers, shelves and hanging rods.
Antique and vintage armoires, on the other hand, are freestanding, heavy wooden structures that typically feature decorative metal hinges and pictorial carvings. Armoires are large cabinets that aren’t outfitted with the varied storage features that wardrobes now commonly have. Armoires often have one or two doors and a hanging bar and allow for quick access. Whether a minimalist mid-century modern wardrobe or grandiose Victorian-era armoire is the right fit for you, both are highly functional furnishings and can be a smart storage solution.
Armoires have been around since medieval times, and initially they may have housed weapons and armor. In their early days, armoires were often adorned with elaborate carvings and lavish paintings, particularly in Renaissance-era France. During the 18th century and later, armoires were widely known as “presses” for hanging clothes, and they were so large that they swallowed up the room where they stood.
In today’s modern homes, an antique armoire can be a striking, architectural work of art amid comparably unadorned furnishings. Whether you’re using your piece in the kitchen for cookware or as a food pantry, in the bedroom for clothes or in the living room as a media console, it will likely become a lovable focal point.
The evolution of the armoire can be seen in today’s corner wardrobes, which may rest on an asymmetrical base to account for corner placement, and even mirrored wardrobes, which feature a mirror affixed to the inside panel of one of the doors for convenience. Contemporary wardrobes commonly feature additional sliding trays and drawers and hanging space for clothing or linens, and the cabinet doors make them ideal for concealing televisions and computer monitors when such devices aren’t in use.
When choosing the right wardrobe or vintage armoire for your home, it’s good to have the following in mind: What are you planning to store in it? How much of what you’re storing will need to be housed in it? It should be big enough to accommodate your needs. What is the size of the room where your wardrobe or armoire will live? A large new piece of furniture in a modest space can easily become a hindrance if you have to navigate your way around it during your daily routine, so be mindful of the area you'll need in order to move freely.
Whether you are looking for an antique walnut armoire or a simple contemporary wardrobe, find the right piece for your home today on 1stDibs.
Questions About Wardrobe With Drawers
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023A wardrobe with drawers is called a chifforobe or chifferobe. It usually features a large, roomy interior for hanging clothes on one side and a chest of drawers on the other. Chifforobes date back to the early 20th century, and their name is a combination of the words wardrobe and chiffonier, the term for a narrow chest of drawers. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of chifforobes.
- What is a chifferobe wardrobe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A chifferobe wardrobe is a piece of furniture designed for storing clothes.

Browse a collection of chifferobe wardrobes on 1stDibs.
- What is a knockdown wardrobe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Knockdown wardrobes are wardrobes that can be dismantled. Knockdown furniture is a type of furniture that requires customer assembly; that is, the furniture comes in parts with instruction manuals for assembly.

- What is a Compactum wardrobe?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Compactum wardrobe is a piece of furniture made for storing clothes.

The difference between an almirah and a wardrobe is that an almirah is a type of wardrobe that originated in India. Typically made of wood and used to hold clothes and shoes, it can also be employed in a kitchen for storing small appliances and miscellaneous items or in an office for books and files.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 11, 2024The difference between a wardrobe and a cupboard is that a wardrobe is a very tall structure that is typically located in a closet or bedroom. Wardrobes usually contain clothing and shoes, while a cupboard, even though it is a versatile type of case piece, is usually found in a kitchen or pantry and is used for food storage.
Although both are types of storage cabinets, a wardrobe is generally much larger than a cupboard. A wardrobe is a tall, streamlined cabinet that usually has some combination of drawers, shelves and hanging rods. You won’t find any hanging rods in a cupboard.
Cupboards have long been staples in interior design as reliable case pieces, which have been a vital part of the home for centuries. Cupboards appeared in the Middle Ages and by the 17th century had eclipsed the chest in popularity as a piece of furniture for storage. New techniques in woodworking allowed furniture manufacturers to build pieces that were more complex than simple chests.

Find antique and vintage banks of drawers today on 1stDibs.
- What is a file drawer?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The term “file drawer” likely refers to filing cabinets.
