When one thinks about antique wardrobe cabinets, one often imagines a glorious anachronism: We are Lucy in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, pushing through the coats to find a new and more exciting world. In these days of walk-in closets, dressers and master bathrooms, things like wardrobes may seem like relics of a bygone era.

Antique bedroom furniture, especially the antique wardrobe armoire, is being retooled to contain and hide modern technology. What could be more useful than an armoire containing a computer with internet access, running your home security and command systems?

This use combines utility with style, enabling you to transform your bedroom from electronic nerve center to restful refuge by closing the cabinet doors.
