Constantia Wardrobe
The Constantia Wardrobe
Adaptable Form with a Considered Material Palette
The Constantia Wardrobe is a custom storage piece designed to suit a range of interiors, from rustic environments to more refined, contemporary spaces. Its proportions and material options allow it to function as both a practical storage solution and a grounded architectural element within a room.
Materials & Finish Options
This wardrobe can be crafted in a selection of solid and reclaimed timbers, depending on the desired aesthetic:
-
Reclaimed Oregon - suited to a more rustic, character-rich finish with visible grain variation and natural markings
-
Solid Oak - offers a cleaner, more uniform appearance with a more refined tone
Back panels are constructed from veneer to ensure structural stability and consistency.
Design & Construction
Each unit is made to order, allowing for flexibility in size and internal configuration. The design balances durability with a lighter visual profile, making it suitable for both residential and hospitality settings.
Due to the nature of reclaimed timber, natural variation in tone, grain, and texture is expected. No two pieces will be identical, and this forms part of the character of the finished product.
Customisation
Dimensions, timber selection, and finishes can be adjusted to suit your space.
For custom requirements, a revised quotation will be provided.
Optional hardware:
-
Black casement locks (subject to availability)
-
Estimated from R1700 per lock

Important Considerations

Outdoor Use
Oak, Oregon, Ash, and similar woods are not designed for prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, rain, or harsh outdoor conditions. If you intend to use any of these woods in a exposed outdoor area, or in a sunny conservatory, braai room, or near a fireplace, please contact us before purchasing so we can advise on a suitable timber for your environment. Wood is hygroscopic, meaning it expands when it dries out, this is completely normal. It is the client's responsiblity to choose the right wood type for you specific site.
Custom Sizing
All our pieces are made to order, and most pieces can be customised. Standard size options are reflected in the product dimensions but if you need something outside of those, get in touch and we'll asses the requirements and work up a tailored quotation if suitable.
Shipping & Estimates
Delivery is quoted separately with reliable operators that deliver nationwide. This allows us to get the most accurate rate from our couriers based on the final size, weight, and your location. Once items are paid for, they belong to the client and clients can elect to insure their own furniture in transit.
Pricing Notes
All prices shown are guide prices. Because we work with raw timber and steel that fluctuates in cost, your final price is confirmed at the time of order. We always aim to honour published pricing and will communicate any variance upfront before proceeding with approval.
NATURAL TIMBER CHARACTERISTICS
Solid and reclaimed timber is a natural material, no two pieces are identical. Expect variation in grain, tone, and texture, and minor characteristics such as knots, hairline cracks, or colour shifts. These are not defects; they are what makes each piece unique. Timber also moves slightly with changes in temperature and humidity, which may occasionally affect drawers or doors. This is normal and expected behaviour. Please note, we are Vintage-etc, each item is hand made by a small team, you can expect hand finished detials, and slighltly varied finishes from item to item, its part of our charm. We are not about cookie cutter perfection, we create homes with soul.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep furniture away from direct sunlight, heaters, and air conditioning vents, pizze ovens and braais. Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to protect surfaces from heat and moisture. To recondition, lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a quality oil finish such as Pro Nature. For routine upkeep, a natural beeswax works well and is available from Takealot, Builders Warehouse, or MICA. Dispose of oil-soaked cloths in water after use as some finishing oils are flammable when dry.
LEAD TIMES
Our current lead time 30-40 days from confirmed order and cleared payment. This can vary during peak seasons and volumes affect lead times. We'll always give you a clear timeline when your order is placed and keep you updated throughout.
