console radio
Furniture-sized wireless set
A console radio is a large, freestanding radio receiver housed in a wooden cabinet, designed as furniture for the home.
Popular from the 1920s through the 1950s, console radios stood on the floor rather than on tables, often featuring ornate cabinetry and powerful speakers.
My grandparents gathered around the console radio for evening programs.
