I like it but think I would do a restoration on the cabinet. Maybe not a strip but at least a degreasing. I dont think it is painted, it looks like a dark toner or just really dirty. If the tag was on the cabinet I would say maybe keep it there but remember the finish is already altered so its not like your would be ruining the original finish. Really it is up to you, you have to look at it every day.
