Vermont State Flower Print | Vintage Red Clover Stamp Wall Art

A Vermont state flower print issued as a 1¢ stamp that never existed: VERMONT struck across the top in worn letterpress, a spray of round clover heads engraved at the centre, and The Green Mountain State set below the frame.

About the artwork

Red on pale peach, one ink throughout. Seven rounded clover pompoms sit at the centre of the stamp, each carried on its own slender stalk, and all seven stalks gather back to a single base so the group reads as one plant rather than a scattering. 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

• Seven heads, one base. The stalks fan out and come back together, which gives the plate a loose, hand-cut look rather than a symmetrical arrangement.
• A field flower treated seriously. Red clover is a roadside plant, and engraving it at stamp scale with a denomination and a border is the whole joke of the series.
• 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 Vermont. 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

Red is the loudest ink in the fifty, but the pale peach ground takes most of the heat out of it, so this plate acts like a warm blush rather than a red accent. Put it where you want one point of colour in an otherwise linen-and-plaster room: an entry, a small bedroom wall, the panel beside a doorframe. Painted white woodwork and pine suit it better than dark or heavily grained timber, and a plain white frame keeps the peach clean; a gold frame will push the whole thing pink. Small sizes work here — 8" x 12" or 12" x 16" — and it sits happily next to green foliage, which is the one colour the plate does not contain.

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.
