Wardrobe or armoire?
The fashion for using French terms to describe pieces of furniture was at its height during the early 1800s when many nouns, such as jardiniere (plant stand) chiffonier (sideboard) and armoire (wardrobe) entered the English language. But pedants and trivia fans will be fascinated to know that the wardrobe and armoire, although substantially the same, have different origins.
In France, the armoire was originally an upright cupboard or chest used for holding a variety of items. In fact the name is derived from the Latin Armarium, which was a Roman cupboard used for storing weapons and armour. In Britain the wardrobe evolved from a room where the clothes of the nobility were stored and the person charged with their care was the ward of the robes.
How to move a big wardrobe
Wardrobes are, or can be, very large items of furniture. So once they were installed in a room or building they were pretty much there to stay - that was, until the early part of the 1800s when it became possible to dismantle wardrobes and deliver or remove them in sections for reassembly elsewhere. The event that made it possible to dismantle and reassemble large items of furniture was the invention in the late 1700s of the screw cutting lathe. Cabinet makers now had easy access to woodscrews, whereas previously these indespensible items had only been available when they were painstakingly made individually by hand.
Today at Right Price Furniture we supply many types and styles of wardrobe and the majority of them are supplied partially dismantled in order to be easily transported and to fit through doors and stairways.
