Even if they have a lacquered finish, if they are Cherry veneer, they will, over time, darken to eventually become a reddish-dark-maroon color. It is the nature of cherry with its high sugar content and high iron content to do so. The same goes for sugar maple (often called hard-rock maple), to include its grain variants such as birds-eye maple. Ever seen anything stained "antique cherry"??...or "antique maple"?? You don't have to stain it in order for it to eventually become that color on its own. As any oxygen gets into its fibers, it begins to darken...just think of "RUST-color"...because the high-iron content is oxidizing (RUSTING).
