Hi, I would strip it all back then stain it with a walnut stain.

I think it also has been stained with Walnut and a flat finish

And of course, either new pulls or the old ones painted darker.

If that is a factory finish on there it might be hard to get the "shine" off. Try to strip it. Sand it well - stain the color you like and choose a sealer that is matte. If you wanted 2 pulls you would have to fill in with wood putty but they never stain the same as the piece so I would just swap out the pull there for something more to your liking
