wardrobes (case furniture)
- Scope note
- Large upright pieces of furniture fitted with hooks, pegs, or rods, used for hanging clothes, generally with two large doors and perhaps a drawer or drawers below. Although there may be a shelf in a wardrobe, the term is typically distinct from "clothes presses," in which clothes are stored exclusively on shelves rather than hanging.
