I would use the Murphy’s Oil Soap to clean the piece, then good furniture polish such as Guardsman or Old English to bring the finish back.

Clean with Dawn & water to remove the water-soluble dirt (most of it).
Clean with naphtha to remove the hydrocarbon-soluble dirt & waxes.
Then apply shellac, polish (other than Pledge), or furniture wax.
If the finish is in sound shape, this will do wonders.

Sand, Stain, and Min Wax will fix your problem or solicit the help of your local handy man.
