The Federal style — sometimes called Adam style after the Scottish brothers who popularized it — shaped American homes from roughly 1780 to 1830, just after independence. Where Georgian trim is robust and Greek Revival is heavy, Federal moulding is delicate and refined: slim reeded pilasters, fine bead-and-reel detailing, oval and elliptical motifs, and crisp, narrow profiles that feel almost neoclassical-jewelry in scale.
Mason’s Mill carries 44 Federal & Adam profiles suited to early Republic townhouses, New England center-hall colonials, and Charleston single houses. They pair beautifully with our Georgian and Greek Revival profiles when layering periods on a single restoration.
The Blum® straight arm “Clip top” hinge for face frame overlay cabinets comes with built-in Blumotion. The Blum® Blumotion soft close feature is silent and effortless for an unparalleled door closing action, which is now integrated into the hinge cup.
These hinges may be used to retrofit existing cabinets which use the Blum® clip top mounting plates. There is no need to buy new mounting plates. Simply unsnap your existing Blum® hinges from their mounting plates, replace the hinges using the existing screws and snap the hinges back onto the mounting plates.
These hinges also features a deactivation switch. This Blumotion feature may be turned off for small or light doors (turn off Blumotion on one of the two hinges on the door).
