Antique European 19th century Armoire

By Rogers, 2 September, 2015
Description

My mother-in-law bought this armoire from the second owner.  It is a "knockdown" armoire with beveled mirrors, 3 adjustable shelves and two drawers.  She had paperwork on it, but cannot find the paperwork now.  She was told it was mid-19th century and was brought to West Texas by wagon by the original owners.  It is very heavy.  There are a couple of hairline cracks in the wood.  There is a 3" x 4" hole in the back from a fall when moving it.  There also seems to be a piece of the top center brass (unsure of material) broken off of the left hand side.

It is European.  7.5' tall, 4.5' wide and 1.5' deep.

I have had a really hard time finding something similar online to compare it to.
