With a linseed oil finish?

I think you've mis-construed my approach. I wanted to get back to as close to the original look without stripping and re-lacquering. Using the approach I took restored the areas of lacquer damage and left the good lacquer areas (most of the cabinet) alone. I was able to match the damaged areas with the toned linseed oil approach. If I decide to strip and re-lacquer in the future, that is an still option, but it looks too good now that I'm unlikely to do that.

BTW, I don't consider re-lacquering with present day finishes any more "original" than the approach I've taken, since the original lacquer formula is most likely lost to antiquity.
