No to anything containing water. These pieces are veneer and water can cause them to come unglued. I have a product for antiques that works every time to clean and bring back the original finish. You can change color by adding dark wax or you can use a varnish stain but from what im seeing here once its cleaned and shining again you may fall in love with it. The product is called a Finish Rejuvenator and its made in Oklahoma but its online too. www.thevictorianhouseproducts.com
You could try teak oil maybe or Beeswax, but if not successful you will have to rub down and all and use a colour that seems appropriate for both areas. Otherwise a Furniture ewstorer or French Polisher may be able to help you.

You could call the consumer hot line on the Murphy's Oil soap and ask.
