Oklahoma State Flower Print | Vintage Rose Stamp Wall Art

An Oklahoma state flower print issued as a 1¢ stamp that never existed: OKLAHOMA struck across the top in worn letterpress, a cut stem of Oklahoma roses engraved at the centre, and The Sooner State set below the frame.

About the artwork

Rose red on pink, one ink throughout. Three full many-petalled roses open across the frame with two tight buds still to come, carried on pinnate leaves that fan out along the stem. A fern ornament fills the lower-left corner and the 1¢ denomination sits in a circle opposite. The perforated edge is drawn as real die-cut scallops on a plain cream sheet, so the stamp sits on the page as an object. Portrait, 2:3.

Why you'll love it

• A rose with actual weight. Layer on layer of petals fills the centre of the stamp, so this is one of the denser drawings in the fifty.
• Tonal, not candy pink. Rose red printed onto a pink ground keeps everything in one colour family, which is why it reads grown-up rather than sweet.
• Built as a set of fifty. Every state shares the same frame, denomination and typography, so any combination lines up.
• A gift for someone from Oklahoma. Home state on the wall, without souvenir kitsch.
• Made to order. Printed after you buy, colour-managed, never warehoused.

Sizes and materials

• Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Thirteen sizes in all: 8" x 12" through 30" x 40", plus A4–A1.
• Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Styling it at home

Rose red on pink is a tonal, low-contrast pairing, which means it wants a quiet wall and close viewing rather than a big empty expanse. Dressing rooms, powder rooms, the wall beside a bed and narrow stair landings all suit it. Gold or natural wood framing brings out the warmth in the pink ground, and white framing keeps the whole thing feather-light. Reach for 12" x 16" or A3 at eye level where the petal work is legible, and only go up to 24" x 32" if the room has enough natural light to keep the pink from flattening. It looks best in a pair or trio, since one small tonal print can get lost alone.

Shipping and care

Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.

Questions people ask

What size should I get? Above a console, desk or shelf, 12" x 18" or 16" x 24". Above a sofa, bed or mantel, go 24" x 36" or larger so the print holds the wall.

Does it come framed? Paper prints ship unframed and fit standard frames. Choose a framed canvas if you would rather skip the framing shop.

Can I collect more than one state? Yes. All fifty share one format and one denomination, so any combination hangs as a matched set.
