Colonial Revival Sun Tavern Wooden Sign - 24.5x38.5 A decorative wooden sign produced in the American Folk Art tradition, featuring hand-painted elements intended to replicate the appearance of an 18th-century tavern sign. The central composition consists of a stylized yellow sun-in-splendor with a human face, centered on a dark reddish-brown rectangular field. The word SUN is painted in white arched block letters above the sun, while the word Tavern is rendered in a white serif font below. The sign is fashioned from a single board, likely plywood, with a decorative scrolled and pierced top crest and a scalloped bottom edge. It is finished with an off-white border featuring a thin dark red pinstripe. The aesthetic is inspired by historic Virginia tavern signage. The reverse side is unpainted, showing natural wood grain and a white string-tied auction tag. A small pre-drilled hole is located at the top center for hanging.
