Looks like mid-century to me. Unfortunately, such a wonderful piece of furniture (Lane) is not worth what it should be in today's world. I sure would hate to see it painted ....
Good! It's gorgeous.
You really don't see much furniture like this anymore. The wood grain is beautiful.
What a beautiful armoire!!! It smacks of mid century, yes. Thank you for sharing the picture and not wanting to paint it. I could not find the exact armoire, sorry. But what I could suggest is to give it a very thorough going over and see if there are any serial numbers on it, that may pinpoint the information you are asking about, or at least a range of dates of manufacture. Research it that way.
Lane has serial numbers on their cedar chests-on the very bottom, so hopefully you'll get more info if you can locate a number. Best to you.
Hi Jason, mid century modern is all I can find for you, sorry
No, your wardrobe is not mid-century modern in design.
This type of furniture is characterized by tapered legs, and clean, flat fronts.
Your unit has rows of trim on the fronts, thick rounded overhangs, and no visible legs. The two pictures below show examples of Lane mid-century modern wardrobes.
Agree its not mid-century, the drawer pulls are definitely 80s style with the moulding around the drawers.... but the cabinet doors are copied from 40s waterfall pattern of veneer.
That looks like a late 70's to early 80's piece. I doubt it has a high re-sale value. I see them for free or very cheap on marketplace in our area. However, if you give it a makeover and repurpose as a coffee bar or pantry, it would have a fairly good selling price.
I have a Lane 1970's piece that looks just like it.
I'm a furniture appraiser. It is NOT mid century, it's from the 80s. It a armoire. If made do a a tv its not worth much. If for clothes a bit more. It's only worth for appraisal purposes $50. So if you like it, definitely keep it. It is handsome. Big brown furniture has fallen out of favor.
Thank you everyone. Very helpful
Looks very similar in style to one I once owned in the early 80's.
Love the starburst look
that is late 1970's era found tons of furniture like this when searching
I found the numbers
93
G1g-12
Ser-R088121
Jan 12, 1988 is manufactured date
My parents had this same piece they got it in 70's.
Hello Jason,
Could be 40's base with a refurb or 70's. Not seen anything quite like that before.
