    Removing decorative molding from an antique pine armoire

    I have an antique pine armoire that will not fit through the doorway of our bedroom because of some decorative molding on top. It looks as though it is attached with glue and finishing nails. Since it is on the top I can see the seam between the frame and the molding. What is the best way to remove this molding without damaging the piece? Thank you.

    Distressfully yours,

    Edward Russo

    RE: Removing decorative molding from an antique pine armoire

    You should NOT have to remove the moulding. If the crown is in the way simply lean it over and bring it in on it's side. If the moulding is too wide instead of two tall angle the armorie to one side and pass the head thru the doorway first.
