Austrian Antique Pine Girls Wardrobe with Carving & Wiener Provenance (Vienna II) – ca. 1890-1910 Atmospheric antique two-door girls’ wardrobe / wardrobe made from blank, solid pine wood from the late 19th / early 20th century (ca. 1890–1910). This piece distinguishes itself with a special and documentable history (provenance): on the back there is an original handwritten inscription: "Helga Seifert, Wien II (27), Stuwerstrasse 27 / 9" This marking points to a historic apartment in Stuwerstraße in Leopoldstadt (the 2nd district of Vienna, near the Prater). The designation Wien II / 27 dates from the era of the old Vienna post 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. Striking 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 is equipped with an upper shelf and a wooden rod. At the bottom there is a spacious drawer with authentic copper fittings. Craftsmanship: At the corners of the top board and the drawer construction you can see classic handmade dovetail joints. Construction & Quality: Old-school solid: 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: Approx. 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 taking-in bolt no longer engages. A locksmith can easily craft a matching key blank if desired. Application & Versatility: A striking focal point that looks wonderful in a warm or a light, minimalist bedroom. By adding a few extra shelves, the piece is also highly suitable as a characterful china cabinet or display cabinet in the dining room or kitchen.
