Austrian Antique Pine Girls' Wardrobe with Carving & Wiener Provenance (Vienna II) – ca. 1890-1910 Atmospheric antique two-door girls' wardrobe / wardrobe made from solid pine wood, dating from the end of the 19th / early 20th century (ca. 1890–1910). This piece stands out for its distinctive and documentable provenance: on the back there is an original handwritten inscription: "Helga Seifert, Wien II (27), Stuwerstrasse 27 / 9" This marking refers to a historic apartment on Stuwerstraße in Leopoldstadt (the 2nd district of Vienna, near the Prater). The designation Wien II / 27 derives from the era of the old Viennese postal zones before the introduction of modern postcodes. It is an authentic moving or transport address that proves the cabinet has a rich history in Imperial Vienna. Notable features: Decorated doors: The doors feature graceful oval openings with detailed rosette woodcarving and original silver/mirror foil glass on the inside. Layout: The interior space is equipped with a top shelf and a wooden clothes rod. At the bottom there is a roomy drawer with authentic copper fittings. Craftsmanship: The corners of the top panel and the drawer construction show classic hand-made dovetail joints. Construction & Quality: Solid through and through: The cabinet is a single, fixed unit and cannot be taken apart. This makes the cabinet exceptionally sturdy, stable, and warp-resistant. Wood type: Solid pine with a beautiful, light patina. Weight: ca. 60 kg. Lock & Key: The original copper fittings and the decorative key with a pink porcelain knob and tassel are present. The key is not original; when turned, the movable part engages and can be used. A locksmith can conveniently craft a matching key blade on request. Use & Versatility: A striking centerpiece that looks lovely in a warm or in a bright, minimalist bedroom. By adding a few extra shelves, the piece is also highly suitable as a characterful china cabinet or display cabinet in a dining room or kitchen.

Delivery to the door (ground floor): The driver delivers the pallet at the front door on the ground floor.
