chifferobe


a closet-like piece of furniture that combines a long sp-ce for hanging clothes (that is, a wardrobe or armoire) with a chest of drawers. chifferobes were first advertised in the 1908 sears, roebuck catalogue, which described them as “a modern invention, having been in use only a short time.” the term itself is a portmanteau of the words chiffonier and wardrobe. it is used in the united states, primarily in the southern portion of the country, and in cuba. pr-nounced shif-uh-rohb or shif-rohb. in spanish as “chief-o-robay.”
the word “chifferobe” appears frequently in harper lee’s novel to kill a mockingbird. tom robinson “busts up a chifferobe” for mayella ewell, which her father uses as kindling.
