The body is made of lacquered blockboard, its surface closed and without visible wood grain, while the frame of chrome-plated steel tube carries the wardrobe and lifts it off the floor. This construction was the real break with the furniture making of the 19th century, because the wardrobe no longer stands on feet but in a frame. with a width of 120 cm, a depth of 59 cm and a height of 190 cm, the wardrobe holds a complete wardrobe of clothes, and the depth is sufficient for hangers placed crosswise. In the bedroom of an old-building flat, a 1930s wardrobe of this height finds the right proportion to the room heights. The piece is restored and in excellent condition, the lacquered surfaces are even, and the chrome on the frame is bright and complete. See less
