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.
All of our antique pine comes from reclaimed lumber and has a natural patina look, saw marks, knots, nail holes and that distinct rustic feel. The sapwood varies in width, and is whitish to yellowish, orange white or pale yellow. The heartwood is light yellow, orange or reddish-brown, and is resinous. The marked contrast between early wood and late wood is clearly shown in the growth rings.
All “reclaimed” or antique pine comes with defects and character markings present. Every piece of lumber has a history.
