Chifferobe
« on: July 13, 2012, 07:47:38 pm »
This is a beautiful piece and thinking it is more vintage than anything although the back looks old.  It is cedar inside the closet.  There are 4 drawers on the side of closet and then 1 bottom drawer.  There are 2 handles missing.  It measures 63" h, 38" w and 21" deep.  The only marking is on the back.   JOB 691 G55 Robe.

Thanks again for any info.

And to think that it took the place of the the oversized walk-in closets that everyone demands nowadays!
My Wife couldn't fit her shoes in that piece. :-*

People didn't feel it was necessary to have so many shoes back then... ;)
