Condition & Investment
This armoire is in overall Excellent Vintage Condition, showcasing a beautiful, aged patina. Minor wear is consistent with its age and adds to its character. This piece represents a sound investment in classic, high-quality design that will last for generations. There are imperfections, but nothing of much visibility on the outside of the piece. The inside has a water stain far within and a flaw where hardware used to be. It does not affect functionality of the cabinet doors at all. It works perfectly well and is not visible when doors are closed. All is smooth and operational. It comes from a smoke free and pet free home. If you are interested in the full set, please reach out for exclusive pricing. I will offer a discount for the purchase of all of the pieces which include side tables, a dresser with mirror and the armoire. I will attach a picture of the set together. See less
