This large-scale decorative wooden sign features a folk art style relief carving commemorating the 1931 Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships. The arched panel displays a hand-painted female tennis player in period-appropriate attire, including a dark tunic, red skirt, and a green beret, positioned mid-swing with a vintage-style racket. To her right, the text is flanked by a pair of crossed rackets and a tennis ball in raised relief. The sign is finished in a deep black ground with hand-lettered polychrome accents in gold, red, and cream. The reverse side shows a sturdy batten construction with horizontal supports and an integrated hanging wire, indicating its use as a commercial or tavern-style display piece. Surface wear, minor paint loss, and natural wood grain separation are present, consistent with its age and decorative nature.
