Three things. Dimensions very important here. I suspect that this might well be English in origin. The interior hardware looks like that in an old English Arts and Crafts armoire I am fond of. Question: Can you take the armoire apart for moving or storing? If so, I think it's probably English. Is it tall and rather broad? When you post dimensions for those who - unlike myself! - know furniture, it would be great if you had a closeup of the hardware on the face of the drawers. You could do that in a separate show and tell - and then add the wishbone piece you have, too. Just a suggestion, because it might help someone date your beautiful armoire.
miKKo-thank you so much for the advice and help! I've posted additional pictures.
