I use laquer frequently, in particular final coats I use gloss as it has no addatives and consequently gives a harder finish. To bring the high sheen down I use a product called "wool wax" it is applied with 4 zeros steel wool and water then take a dry rag to clean the surface and dry it off .the product is made by behlen. It will give your projects a soft luster which I find attractive, you might give it a try.
