Greek Revival Style???

In my searching, I've seen ads from magazines showing simular but not identical cabinet styles, such as victorian styles with curved legs, etc. The cabinet design for this particular Cheney Talking Machine features straight tapered legs and a "greek key" design across the front.

Would that make this a greek revival style design?

I wish I knew more about this... I'm curious, wonder how many of this cabinet design were made.

Measurements & Condition

Measurements: 38-1/8" wide x 20-1/2" deep x 33-1/4" high.

Condition: Everything original, still works great... a delight to listen to!

It will need cleaned & polished by someone who knows the proper methods of cleaning & polishing antiques. There is a little wear on the edges of the cabinet, those you can see in the photos. Be sure to click on the slideshow photos to see them zoomed up at Flickr.

I think the condition is quite wonderful considering the age.
