Nice repair, looks great.
When I get something like this, if functional I just try to "clean up the look" I have had very good luck using Howards either in "Golden Oak, or Walnut" with either they can go on lighter for a really light look, to full on Walnut for darker, and truthfully Walnut more often than the Oak, just applied lighter. Also Walnut Oil if the wood looks dry, it feeds the wood nicely, and tends to refresh the overall look. Usually to figure which to use I start on a spot around back, where it won't show if you are too strong. Makes wood look a lot closer to just finished, than it sat in a barn for 25 years, which has been the story on most of the saves I have done.
Looks like a win on the glass front. Most of the ones I have gotten all the old glass was broken, easy enough to do the glazing work, just loose all that old glass charm. It tells a lot better story.
