Yes. The problem is one of proof. Normally, one does not enter into a written agreement for such matters. If A can prove his ownership, he can.

Yes he is duty bound to return the article or furniture if he could not prove that the agent was authorised properly in that respect as the acts of the agent binds the principal with certain exceptions.

It is a bailment and Birenbdra had a duty to return it to Anurag on his return. If he doesn't and pledges it, it is a fraud on his part.
