Philco (UK) Model 282 Empire Five
#10

One thing that I did notice about this cabinet is that it looks like they used some sort of softwood for the structural portions of the cabinet at the back, most of the Canadian and U.S sets used one of the cheaper hardwoods for things like that. That marquetry in the front panel reminds me of a Canadian set from that era, like my Rogers 10-60, a lot of the Canadian G.E and Marconi sets are of a similar line. With the U.S sets it seems less consistent, some makes liked using nice cabinetry, like brand Z, and others like Philco and Crosley used more production oriented designs, at least on the low to mid range models.
