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 CUTEK® Wood Reviver, CUTEK® Wood Stripper (formerly CUTEK® CD33 Naked) and CUTEK® Quickcleaner products are powerful and user-friendly. No professional experience is necessary. These CUTEK® products can help restore stained, weathered and gray wood back to its original appearance.
CUTEK® Wood Reviver is effective in removing stubborn stains caused by tannins, water, iron, resins, mold and fungus.
