About the Item

Large Bespoke Rattan and Mahogany Armoire – Custom Vintage Storage Cabinet An exceptional and substantial vintage armoire crafted from richly grained mahogany and natural rattan poles. This one-of-a-kind piece features custom retrofitted sliding doors that neatly tuck away to reveal an interior designed for maximum utility. Initially built in the 1940s, this solid cabinet has been thoughtfully modified with high-end craftsmanship to suit modern storage needs while preserving its vintage charm. The interior includes a central open section with a removable or fixed middle hanging rod, ideal for garments and outerwear. One side is outfitted with six adjustable shelves, perfect for linens, sweaters, or organizing accessories. Below, three deep storage drawers provide ample room for additional clothing or household items. Each element—from the dovetail joinery to the finely woven rattan panels—reflects careful construction and timeless design. The armoire's proportions and aesthetic make it well-suited for use as a stylish wardrobe, linen closet, or statement storage piece in any room. Interior Dimensions: Height: 38 ½ inches Width: 37 inches Depth: 20 inches A rare blend of utility, elegance, and craftsmanship—this piece is as functional as it is beautiful. We only purchase and sell only the best and finest rattan furniture made by the best and most well-known American designers and manufacturers, including: Ritts Company. (Herb Sr. and Shirley Ritts) Tropitan Seven Seas Rattan Paul Frankl Tropical Sun Rattan These designers and companies helped to popularize rattan furniture in the United States during the 1930s through the 1960s. Shirley Ritts was the mother of photographer and music video director Herb Ritts Jr. Shirley Ritts was born in Baltimore, Maryland on October 28, 1920. Herb Ritts Sr. also invented the "S springs" under the cushions in the early 50s and replaced the wrapping with preformed plastic. Paul Frankl came from New York just before the Depression after a great run designing his renowned Skyscraper furniture line. He designed and decorated the homes of Hollywood's top stars and producers from his Beverly Hills shop. Paul Laszló was a Hungarian-born architect and interior designer whose work spanned eight decades and many countries. László built his reputation while designing interiors for houses in the 1950s to 60s, Including rattan furniture in his style. C.W. Fishbeck started Tropical Sun Rattan of Pasadena in 1905. Tropical Sun produced top quality real rattan furniture in the Philippines where most of the above designers also had their designs made. He had showrooms across the country. We have in stock at this time a vast array of rattan from all of these designers, decorators, and architects; their sofas, chairs, and tables, just about all their designed products from the 40s through the '60s. All rattan, bamboo, and wicker furniture has been painstakingly refurbished to the highest standards with the best materials. Rattan workers do all refinishing with over 30 years of experience. Every wrapping and joint has been inspected by "The Rattan Man" Harvey Schwartz to guarantee you the finest product available and enjoy for years in your home or office. Harvey Schwartz is the leading expert in vintage rattan and the author of "Rattan Furniture: Tropical Comfort Throughout the Home." Signed copies are available on request for 39.99 USD. The hardbound 160-page full-color book details the fascinating History of rattan with photos of wonderful vintage and modern-day tropical décors and rattan. The book is great for any newcomer to rattan wanting to learn as well as a top resource for dealers and designers alike.
