Looking for transparent spray paint for a brass table

Picture shows the look I'm going for.
In the 60's my Mom's coworker brought her a brass coffee table from the middle east which I have kept it and use in my living room now. Recently, I saw the one pictured which at first look resembles leather in a second hand store. They had no details of what treatment was used.
Does any one know what transparent paint could provide the finjsh but not obscure the carving desjgn on the brass?
