Abstract

This chifforobe (armoire) is made from the ancient heart of pine boards by President Jimmy Carter. The 39th President of the United States made a number of these cabinets. This piece is part of the furnishings in the President’s home office in Plains, Georgia. President Carter indicates that the wood for this piece came from the attic of Rosalynn’s Great-Grandfather’s home. The doorknobs show distinct growth ring patterns with more than 50 years visibly counted.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a wooden armoire with a central shelf that divides it into two separate sections, each covered by cabinet doors with circular handles. The wood is stained to a orange-red tone. The handle to the bottom half's left door appears to have fallen off or has been purposely excluded. The model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow for inspection of multiple details from different angles.
