That looks like a straightforward paint job. I'd give the furniture a good clean, sand lightly, prime and undercoat and eggshell. If you want a good tough finish then a coat of varnish on top. I'd use a mohair mini roller and a laying off brush.
I use eggshell normally but gloss or satinwood would be OK. A gloss finish old be pretty tough as well.0 -

This is the one I used last year on a couple of bedside tables, and they are still fine. I put wallpaper on the top and front of the drawers and painted/waxed the rest.
Make sure you get the clear wax (unless you want the dark coloured one).
I bought the wax in Homebase - cost about £10-£12 or so.0
