Mid Century and Pagoda Chairs

I've developed quite an interest in mid century furniture.  I'm not a fan of all of it, but so much of it really appeals to me.  The simplicity and clean lines are refreshing.  I'd love to add a few pieces here and there to liven up my too traditional house.  Last week I visited one of my favorite shops, Antiques Moderne, in the Dallas Design District and spotted some very interesting items.  I also learned more about the beautiful restorations they do on site.  If you purchase something, they will refinish or lacquer it for you.   Here are some examples of their work.

I spotted this credenza (the one on the bottom) and thought about how unbelievable it would be lacquered.  Oh my.

This chair is one of a pair that is in perfect condition.  Seriously.  

The two photos above are of a Henredon console or sofa table from the 70s when Henredon was still manufacturing high quality furniture.  Would you lacquer or no?  What color?
