It looks like the astragal glazed top of a bureau-bookcase. It looks 1920s but could be younger.
There is an interesting link to Vincent van Gogh here. Van Gogh believed a picture did not have to look exactly like the thing depicted, and this...
If it just marked 925 like that it is not all that old. Of course, since I am pretty old myself, not all that old goes back a fair few years.
