A photo would help. Then we can make suggestions as to what products might work. And furniture doesn't need to match either.
It is mainly the shape of the piece of furniture, rather than its finish that bespeaks its style.

If you want an exact match you will need a custom mix because all antiques yellow or cream color in time, (hence why Antique White differs from White White). Likely you find something that is a close enough match to secure you don't need to paint both.
