Mike313 I am a decorator by trade but cannot advise you on what to use without seeing the wood, but whatever you decide do a small patch in an obscure place such as back edge of a door or inside of a cupboard door frame

I will suggest it again, get a professional to sand blast it, in next to no time the wood will be like new with all the old filth blown away.

There is a great World to be found out there, but by the very day, to find where it is becomes more of a challenge!

Soda crystals and cif in hot water with a non stick scourer if you want to use elbow grease as well.

I did something similar using a steam cleaner and a scourer with fairy liquid on it.

Could you get them dipped and stripped, like everyone used to do with painted Victorian pine doors? Guessing this process would remove all grime and varnish but not damage the carvings. You could then just re varnish or oil them.

May not be appropriate, but as a general ti, I find cut up old plastic bank or membership cards scrape off grease well without too much damage. I use the points to get into crevices.
Not much info about the whole job that you have to do but bet it will look good once you have done it.
