Nice find! You could try enquiring at Craftser.org under repurposed/recycled about what to use on an older finish.

Not an antique. A late 1940s to early 1950s end table. maybe made with mixed hard woods. Don't waste your time or money stripping this piece. (especially the beading around the table edge.) Looks like a veneered top. Just clean it and try to match up the stain colors. I am stating this from experience! I learned the hard way.

A lot of pieces are veneered on the top “showing” surfaces so flip it over and see what you have. This looks like mixed woods with a veneer.

Looks promising. How old do you figure it is?
