Was the wardrobe attached to the wall or floor? If so, it may be a fixture that is part of the house. If not, then unless it was specifically included in the purcahse, then you can keep it.
What you can do depends on the purchase agreement. You should be issuing a notice to perform to the buyer to close the escrow. If the buyer breaches the purcahse agreement, then you may be entitled to keep the earnest money deposit.
