My great-grandmother purchased it at a furniture store in Columbus, Ohio in 1924.

Not necessarily imported as things are today !!  Many times these things came with families that moved here !!  Sometimes similar styles were made here !!   Where did you get it ??  Shop, flea market, inherited ??

I'm in the U.S. it makes sense that it was probably imported.

Are you here in the U.S. or in the UK ??  Looks like an English style !! Mass production was done even in 1920`s,, the number is likely the style number !!

Can anyone identify this mirror? I know it was purchased in 1924 at a store in Columbus, Ohio. It measures approx. 26" x 20". A number is stamped on the back of the "lions" (is it a lion? Dog?) head - 679. The back of the mirror is covered in a metal sheath. I took it off and unfortunately there wasn't a treasure map hidden back there. It weighs 20 lbs.

Thanks!
