    If it was painted then a filler would work, a stain and clear coat could also be used over a close matching timber filler.
    As you say the existing frame is finished with an oil rich finish the only option that is going to come close is to inlay some real timber with the same colour and grain structure as the original frame.

    Done carefully it will be almost invisible once completed.
