In the early 1950s there was a brief vogue for "Chinese" style TV cabinets. Stromberg-Carlson made a few, but their door designs tend to be more ornate than yours and I believe they always showed people in some fashion. Admiral also made a couple of Chinese cabinets, but I'm not very familiar with those designs. Perhaps other makers, too . . . .

Pretty cool cab, anyhow. I hope you can make everything fit. It would be a nice coup to re-re-purpose it back into a television housing as Nature intended.

Stromberg-Carlson did produce some very elegant Chinese style cabinets in the 1950's. From the 1954-55 model year catalog.
