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 poplar in both 1 COM and FAS grades. Poplar is among the most economical and inexpensive of all domestic hardwoods and is typically used for paint grade materials.
The wood has a medium to fine texture and is straight-grained; has a comparatively uniform texture. Seldom used for its appearance, poplar is a utility wood in nearly every sense. It’s used for pallets, crates, upholstered furniture frames, pulpwood and plywood.
