Last august at the AWA cnvention I bought this chairside 37-620. I have seen a few in the past but they were walnut. This one is black lacquer with japanese figures on it, the ones on both sides are not only painting but appliques, it is in a very good state of preservation. I wonder if anyone has an idea of how many were made and what was the motivation for this painting, promotion, exportation?

I hate to burst your bubble, but that set never left the factory with that paint job. It was done either by a previous owner, or a previous owner had it painted and decorated by someone.
