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.
Random width lumber surfaced 3 sides, two smooth faces and one straight edge for optimal lumber yield. A select & better grade cherry hardwood out of Pennsylvania that is extremely popular with cabinetmakers. Cherry is easy to work, fine textured, strong and fairly durable. Highly rated in all working properties including wood bending and turning.
Cherry becomes darker and richer with age turning reddish brown with a golden luster. Freshly cut cherry is often very pale, but the wood oxidizes to its famously favorable rich brown red in time.
