Sorry i had to delete the last post I noticed i wrote something on response of a concept I probably misundrstood, joe meant furniture type big tv sets, not wood chest bodied TVs... I confess I still have to get well the concept of "frankestein castle" though.... So that brought me to misunderstand what he meant...
I realized that after......
But he is correct, those types of big configuartions of furniture TV sets were not common in europe, not sure if that is a matter of fashion or not, I think it was more a matter of space and other conditions that in europe were not suitable for them to be common or having that much of consideration....
Over here people prefered to put TVs on top of furnitures, or having self standing Tvs with legs setted up net to other furniture, or in a corner, and Tvs had not that much of a decor complement function that in cases like those big furniture Tv' sets sure had, it was a plus they had.... I cannot imagine the typical european house to fit one of those Tv's, many could have did that but probably not the most...do not know, but as you call them frankestein castle style, do not know what you reslly mean.... we can see there were many styles of furniture, modern, plain or more complex, so it was more a matter of fashion and kind of style the house was decorated with, and just if "frankestein castle" is a way to mean a kind of Neoghothic or gothic, or even a victorian like style... Well, gothic, victorian revivals or whatever types of furniture with rich patterns and more convuluted and or antiquing details other than linear plain and or space age futuristic were present in europe too same way in the USA and in about the same periods following current fashions in matter of decor, only difference is that in europe they just made plain and neutral styled Tv's that had not a decor function like indeed those types of big furniture sets had...it was a plus.. Of course many people in the USA had neutral style Tv's the same way..those big sets were infact a plus one could decide to have or not...
Of course whoever wanted to buy one of those television sets had to match the cabinet and body style of the Tv to the cureent decor of the house...
So we come to talk of styles of home decor and furniture in vogue on those years and in each households...not just Tv's being "frankestein Castle type", correct me if I am saying bullshits please.... i am not into Tv's, just trying to understand and make a reasoning...
But I could see about any kind of tv sets in many styles,, one posted his danish modern set, another maybe a little gothic style one, then there were those who had colonial style l and have stuff like this... ( see link below) LOL LOL LOL

I love gothic style...you consider it frankestein style, I considet it magnificent and classy, I consider weird indeed making even a TV like the one mentioned above, do Not get me wrong, a Tv chest recalling in lines and patterns colonial type if you have an home decor like this in your house is perfectly okay and sensed , but making a tea cart tv cabinet in a colonial style like this is just GROSS! Who knows the rest of the house tien! LOL
But then we're speaking of styles in vogue in certain years and in each household...not furniture type of TVs as style on their own....
