..for bare wood, unfinished or stripped furniture, stain it the desired color and put on 2 coats of shellac, (fine steel wool before 2nd coat), then a coat of paste wax..this is authentic looking, though it requires periodic waxing and wont hold up to water rings from drink glasses. ..alternatively, your local paint store or decorating center should have a selection of paint finishes, such as a pickled look, or a paint undercoat with a surface glaze put on over the paint and then wiped off.

∙ 15y ago== == According to the DIY website (www.DIYnet.com), use an oil-based primer/sealer (2 thin coats) then use an oil-based paint (2 thin coats). Use a 100-grit sandpaper first, than tack-off with a slightly damp cloth to remove any residue. Use any color paint to achieve the antique look you want. After the paint is completely dry, you could use sandpaper to remove some of the paint along the edges to give the piece an aged look. The DIY website is the only place I found this answer to my question about painting veneer furniture. Good luck.
