Actually on closer inspection it may be 12" or 15" and earlier. Oriental themed cabinets were popular as I've seen only until maybe 1955, at which point TVs were a vanity item somewhat and nobody wished to hide one. Your wife would enjoy the set as well as the cabinet, although it's too bad it doesn't have a radio/phono section. A beautiful "relic" from the days when a TV was furniture like radios once were.
