The sign is housed in its original branded dark-stained moulded wooden frame with a gilded inner slip. The top rail of the frame features gilded sans-serif lettering reading DARE’S BITTER BEER. The reverse is sealed with a dark backing board and includes a hanging wire and a strip of masking tape with handwritten notations 12 3/4 and 25 1/4 = 36 1/2.
