If it is shellac, denatured alcohol will remove it w/o damaging the lacquer underneath. Years ago it was a common practice in some households to go around and spruce up their furniture with a fresh coat of shellac.

I have a Jesse French Jr. cathedral that had a coating of shellac slathered on it. After removing it with denatured alcohol it revealed a beautiful lacquer finish. As always, try this in an inconspicuous spot first.

I learned about this years ago at a MAARC meet in Maryland where Ed Lyon was giving a seminar on finishing tips.
