Art Deco and early Modern trim — running from roughly 1925 through the mid-1960s — broke decisively with everything that preceded it, replacing layered classical mouldings with stepped geometric profiles, flat planes, and clean reveals. The vocabulary is graphic and architectural: stepped crowns, plain rectangular casings, deep flat baseboards, and the occasional fluted or grooved accent that nods to the era’s industrial design. Mason’s Mill carries 45 Art Deco and Modern profiles suited to Streamline Moderne apartments, mid-century ranches, theater and hotel restorations, and contemporary homes that want trim without ornament. They also work as a quiet modern foil when paired with our wider hardwood plank cladding.
We stock both an FAS grade and an S&B grade in soft maple. Coming out of Pennsylvania, it is commonly referred to as silver maple, red maple and box elder. The sapwood in the soft maples is considerably wider than in the hard maples and has a lighter heartwood color. Stains well and may be polished to an excellent finish, typical uses for soft maple include domestic flooring, furniture, millwork, piano parts and sporting goods.
