- Two drawers above a generous two-door cabinet.

Condition and attribution: Pre-owned condition with wood wear, surface scratches and a visible chip at a marble corner, all documented in the photographs. Lock hardware shows wear; no functioning-key claim is made. Early-20th-century date is an informed estimate. The photographed label supports a commercial association with Guerin Freres of Paris, but does not independently establish whether the firm manufactured or retailed the piece; exact designer, production date and country of manufacture remain unconfirmed.
