Default What Vintage Radio is This?

We were watching a series on German TV the other day and they had a valve radio in the background that was totally unfamiliar. Would anyone happen to know what the radio is, by any chance? Picture attached...

Its an interesting radio.
Hard to tell from that picture if it is a solid wooden piece above the knobs or a dial glass.
Most German radios only had 2 knobs on them and often had a complex push button arrangement at the bottom for other functions.
Even the AM/FM units only had 2 knobs that I could find in pictures from the net.
The closest LOOKING radio I have seen is a Philips 341A with 4 knobs and dial glass location.

With TV you never know if the prop is real or they had the prop guy knock something together out the back to look like what they imagined an old mantle radio would have looked like.
