Width: 19" (front to back)
Height: 80.50" (Armoire without Crown)

CONDITION: Left door upper left corner had a 45 degree angle crack which has been restored. Beveled mirror in left door needs replacement which measures .25" width (thickness) with a 1" beveled outer edge which is equivalent to the original mirror in the right hand door. Right side mirror is the original. Since this is an apparent necessary replacement, it does not drastically devalue the piece. It is quite normal to either have replacement mirrors or re-silvered mirrors in antique pieces. The quotation for a replacement beveled mirror of same caliber is approximately $235.00-$250.00. Consequently this has been taken into consideration whilst establishing a fair market price.
