Then a toned nitrocellulose lacquer should do the job. I built a cherry china hutch for our dining room and I sealed the brass with clear nitro lacquer and they are as bright and as tarnish free as the day I installed them 20 years ago. The tinted lacquer will add the toned look u want and also stop the brass under it from darkening your desired result further. I’ve used JE Moser dyes to tint my woodworking finishes and they are available as water, alcohol and oil soluble powders.
