I think the wood 5.jpg in BobH’s post comes closest to OEM.  The finish was a fairly dry satin one…just barely reflective. 

Number 5 was from this company, they seem to sell through an on line marketplace, probably restrictive for anyone outside the UK due to postage and taxes, but for anyone in the UK the set is £ 730.00 inc carriage.  I haven't seen a set in the flesh and i'm normally wary of anything too cheap, but the wood interiors they sell all appear to look reasonable quality.  For some reason they also offer a gloss version, i guess some owners might prefer the shiny look to what was original
