The only issue I can think of is that the maple veneer set in the gallery looks like it may have been stripped, but it looks like whatever shading lacquer was used was on the base, and maybe the edges of the panels, but was it dark brown, black, or something lighter. The maple itself must have bee a sort of golden colour, like colonial rival furniture often was. I have a Canadian Westinghouse AC/DC set with maple veneer and they made the trim and grill bars sort of a yellow ochre or mustard yellow colour, other makes and models used white trim, so there was obviously no convention when it came to maple. By the way that small chip could be repaired by using a piece of a wooden coffee stirrer, one of those long, skinny ones.
