This is the oldest thing I own. It’s a wardrobe/cabinet made in the late 1700′s. It has been in my family for a very long time, probably since the late 1700′s. It’s lacking hardware, the doors stay closed with a ribbon instead of a latch.
(Port removal surgery is done, it’s in a box with other chemo related things to be burned in our backyard fireplace on Wednesday evening, when I will finally feel done with chemo.)
Patti, that is a beautiful piece of furniture and history! But more importantly, I am thrilled for you that your port is now removed! Hooray!
be careful not to get a snootful of the smoke from burning those chemically things (but I’m sure you already know that!)
We’re all held together with ribbon, congratulations on the port removal.
Patti!! I have an old wardrobe that is very similar to yours! I will have to take a picture so you can see it. Mine does not have the scrolled edges at the bottom like yours. I always figured someone in our family made it.
PS SO glad about the port and the burning ceremony!!
Yes! (and nice piece of furniture, too.)
I would love to paint that wardrobe a pretty color on the inside.
On the outside too.
Just stopped by to see how you’re doing.
It’s been a month since you posted… stopping by to say you are missed! Hope you are feeling better and simply busy living life.
I’m fine! Thanks for checking. I have been distracted by shiny things. I feel good!
I’m so glad! Enjoy those shiny things.
