Stunning Antique Salesman Sample Oak Wardrobe / Armoire Miniature:
$249.99

This is a truly wonderful antique salesman sample wardrobe or armoire. The piece is crafted in oak, primarily quarter sawn, with iron strap details. It is meticulously made. Every aspect of this object is charming and exacting down to the tiny knobs and escutcheons. Note also the detailed side panels and the charmingly executed faux bottom drawers. It retains its original mirror which shows loss to the leading that only add to the authenticity and beauty of the piece.The interior is also beautifully done and fully finished and reveals supports for an interior shelf and rod (sadly not in evidence, if in fact they ever existed). This is the finest salesman sample I have ever had the pleasure to discover. It is a rare and wonderful antique that I have no doubt has been loved and displayed and moved and bequeathed and inherited. Words do not do this justice.
Now to the nitty-gritty, so that there is no disappointment: As evidenced in the photos, this has a wire attached to the back as it was displayed on a wall. In the course of that display, perhaps someone painted the ceiling as there are small paint dots on the top which I\'m sure could be removed with fine steel wool. This probably was re-shellacked 75 years ago or so as there is evidence of drip marks down one side. The teeny tiny brad that attaches the front right foot is gone. The doors can be temperamental in staying closed but work wonderfully when the piece is level. And generally, please refer to the pictures as they describe this better than words.It measures approximately 14 1/2\" high by 9 1/4\" wide by 4 1/4\" deep. It is simply lovely and beautifully executed.Please ask any questions you might have. Additional photos available on request. US buyers only, please. International buyers, please contact seller prior to offerding for approval. Payment expected within 48 hours of sale ending.Thanks for looking.
