If you have some other colors and finishes in the nooks and crannies that can end up looking like a naturally agreed piece of furniture when you're done. I use a dye for color, and a gel stain wipe to do this on purpose and it makes the piece look 50+ years old instantly. Try applying your finish over a piece with molded edges like on one of the drawers or something and see how it looks. If you hate it you can always paint over it. Honestly tho that dresser is too beautiful for paint, I think it's going to turn out great with a stain or dye finish.
Edit: General Finishes Water Based Dye โ it's very forgiving on application, and you can thin it with water to lighten it. I seal over this with shellac and then apply an oil based gel stain, slopped on heavy and wiped off gently for that "antiqued" look. I sealed with more shellac as I didn't use dewaxed so I couldn't use a wipe on poly.
here's a picture of my dresser, it's kinda hard to see but if you look along the trim you can see it's much darker in the crevices, that's the gel stain doing its thing.
Hope this helps!
