Appropriate finish on teak mid century credenza

10 years ago

We installed a vintage mid century credenza for our master vanity. It got a couple scuffs during install, so I'm planning to do some basic wood repair. in the style of MCM, this piece doesn't seem to have a hard coat finish of any sort (ie lacquer or polyeurethane). Just stained veneer. Is that right and or typical? Or is there likely some very matte thin finish? I'm planning on dabbing a little matching wood stain on a couple of superficial scratches and one spot where I'll do stained wood filler. I can get away without patching any of the veneer. What, if anything, would you do on top of the stain? Or for everyday maintenance generally? Some kind of oil or other protective wipe? Here's a pic of the piece, and a close up of some small scratches by way of example.
