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.

- Are armoires outdated?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Although opinions may differ, many people don't believe that armoires are outdated. In fact, people have begun to use armoires in new ways. Where once the storage furniture's primary purpose was storing hanging clothing in bedrooms, the armoire now functions as a home for TV entertainment centers in living rooms, an organizer for coats and accessories in hallways and mudrooms, a place for storing dinnerware and serveware in dining rooms and even as a freestanding pantry in kitchens.

- What is an inlay earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023An inlay earring is an earring that shows off a certain decorating technique. In jewelry making, inlay is the process of carving small recesses in the surface of a metal, like platinum, gold or silver, and then filling them with precisely cut accent materials. You can find inlay earrings featuring a variety of semiprecious stones and gemstones, such as lapis lazuli, mother of pearl, opal and turquoise. They may also be decorated with inlays of shells, beads, glass and other materials. Shop a range of inlay earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024To spell armoire furniture, write A-R-M-O-I-R-E. You pronounce the word "ARM-wahr." The word armoire comes from the Old French term for cupboard, amarie. Its root is the Latin word armarium, which refers to a closet for storing tools. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of armoires from some of the world's top sellers.

The difference between inlay and marquetry is that with marquetry, pieces of wood, ivory, metal and other materials are used to form an intricate design that is applied as a veneer to a wood surface, while with inlay, cutouts are made in a solid piece of material to receive segments of a different set of materials that form a surface pattern.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The original purpose of an armoire was storing arms like swords and axes. Today, many people use armoires in bedrooms and closets to store hanging clothing and accessories. They can also house televisions and entertainment systems in living rooms, dens and other spaces. Explore an assortment of antique and vintage armoires on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023The difference between an armoire and a chiffarobe comes down to the kinds of storage that these two types of case goods feature.
