Italianate architecture took hold in America from roughly 1840 to 1885, borrowing the bracketed eaves, tall narrow windows, and richly curved profiles of Renaissance Italian villas. Italianate moulding favors sweeping ogee curves, bold scroll brackets, paired window hoods, and crown assemblies that project further from the wall than any other 19th-century style.
Mason’s Mill carries 45 Italianate profiles suited to brownstone restorations, Hudson Valley villas, and the bracketed wood-frame Italianates common across the Midwest. They pair naturally with our Victorian profiles when restoring transitional homes built in the 1860s and 1870s.
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).
