Hi,

Are you sure it's a radio? Does it have any tubes and controls?

The reason I ask is because it looks to me like it is probably a speaker table. These seemed to be somewhat popular accessories in the late 1920s. Some, like yours, are rather fancy pieces of furniture. The table was designed to hold a typical table radio of the time plus it had a built-in speaker for the radio.
