Penetrating oil finishes won't give you much more sheen than you have.
Do you intend that the chair be used and left outdoors? This is important as to what finishes you might consider.

I have used this Ship & Shore product with great results on my outdoor furniture http://www.dalyspaint.com/catalog_conditioners.html
Because of the oil finish this will not work:
Epoxy and spar varnish
