In Roman times, wardrobes were used to deposit and store weapons, hence the origin of the Spanish name 'armario'. Sometime later, they were used as storage for objects such as books and portraits of ancestors.

These were made of wax, which is why they had to be stored to protect them from dust and to prevent deterioration over time. The libraries used by the Romans were full of cabinets.

These warriors used many cabinets to store certain rolls or volumes that deteriorated over time. The Romans were aware that dust as well as extreme weather could damage them.

Weapons and armour were kept with suspicion in the Middle Ages inside wardrobes. It was from the 15th century onwards when wardrobes were first decorated with reliefs. It was a true beginning for interior design.

The decorations made to each wardrobe managed to highlight its beauty and the natural qualities of the materials with which each design was crafted. It was a golden age for furniture where the wardrobe became the protagonist of the space.

A good size for a wardrobe would respect its internal capacity and not overload it with unnecessary objects that might overshadow its original beauty. From the 18th century onwards,

Art Deco, Oriental, and Vintage wardrobes began to be placed as part of the main decoration of important interior spaces.
