My guess: a commercial "white wash" stain, mostly wiped off, sanded back, followed by a waterborne finish.
There isn't enough ambering to suggest that there's anything oil-based on there. This is a commercial-looking piece, so it probably isn't Milk Paint--a more traditional product that you'd see in a small or hobby shop. But Milk paint is still a possibly valid way to get this effect.
If I were to sit down and figure this out, I'd get a bunch of scraps of the target wood species, then go buy:
Then experiment with each of the three "white" products--applying them like stain, wiping most of it off, sanding back a little, then using the HP as a topcoat. See what you like best and what effects you can achieve. You could also try powdered milk paint that you mix yourself--the benefit there is that you can control the consistency better.
(*) GF Milk Paint is not Milk Paint! It's a waterborne finish that replicates the style and feel of milk paint while being an absolute pleasure to work with...but it's not the real thing.
