There is an article by Elia Bizzarri in the current (Dec 2017) Popular Woodworking magazine on doing exactly what you want to do.

We did this on a set of Windsor chairs we purchased from a fellow named Bob Dillon in MN. The multiple colors coming through looks great. Note that we did not distress the chairs; we allowed them to age naturally.

I'm not certain what type of distress one might see on a lamp. To be honest, artificially distressed stuff tends to look artificial to me. But to each their own.

You can find his Windsor Chair build on the internet and in one or two episodes he demonstrates the process in detail.

Tom, I build windsor chairs and I use milk paint exclusively. I use several different recipes of one color over another. Peter Galbert outlines the process in his blog.Curtis Buchanan also talks about the process in his videos which are available on you-tube.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask and if I can help I will.---Jack
