Just bought a second hand 'corona' style lamp table off eBay but its lighter than my bookcase or the same style.
What wax can I use to get the wood darker?

Ronseal - does what it says...
There are lots of waxes and oils available at your local B&Q. I tend to use Ronseal oil as it doesn't leave a residue. And comes in many colour shades.

If its varnished it wont make any difference.

Not varnished its a used table and the original wax is worn but is more yellow pine that dark pine like the bookcase.
Might just have a mooch round B n q then and have a guess

Coloron Liquid Wax used to work well for me.
Dark tan shoe polish can sometimes do the trick at no cost.
Strong stewed tea as well.
Don't forget to test it on the under side!!

You can buy some coloured bees wax products that will change the tone as you polish it. I have used 'Fiddes' Rugger Brown with good results.
