Hi Bob,
That's a good question. If you google Philco 90 image you will see all manner of shading on the cabinet. Original lacquer based finishes were used throughout. No oil based stains. In manufacturing lacquer is much fast drying than oil. And lacquer toners have a translucent look that stain doesn't.
After looking at the 90 in the gallery https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1931b/#...Baby_Grand I would use ex dark brown for the trim (Mohawk M100-209) and columns. For the front panel would use just a little M100-0207 medium brown. Would also use a coat sanding sealer beforehand.
GL w/your project!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
