Craftsman & Arts & Crafts
The Craftsman and Arts & Crafts movement reshaped American homes from roughly 1900 to 1930, rejecting Victorian ornament in favor of honest joinery, exposed structure, and quiet horizontal lines. Craftsman moulding is restrained and rectilinear — flat-stock casings with simple back-band trim, wide picture rails, plate rails, deep door headers, and beam-style ceiling trim meant to be read clearly from across the room. Mason’s Mill stocks 43 Craftsman profiles authentic to bungalows, Greene & Greene-inspired homes, Prairie-style builds, and Stickley-era interiors. They’re the right specification anywhere a fussy Victorian crown would feel out of place.
