Wardrobe

A Wardrobe (sometimes called an "armoire" the french word) is a standing Closet used for storing Clothes. The earliest Wardrobe was a Chest, and it was not until some degree of luxury was attained in regal palaces and the castles of powerful nobles that separate accommodation was provided for the sumptuous Apparel of the great. The name of Wardrobe was then given to a room in which the wall-space was filled with cupboards and lockers, the Drawer being a comparatively modern invention.
