| Representing an influential presence in American architectural history,
the Classical Craftsman Style is inspired by the Arts and Crafts,
Bungalow and Prairie movements. These movements rejectedVictorian
era excesses and embraced the desire to emphasize “man-made”
over “machine-made” materials. Simple square lines with
rounded edges, the moldings from the Classical Craftsman Style are
thick and hearty. In a time when most moldings have shrunk in size
and thickness, these moldings stand boldly. Reviving the craftsmanship
from decades before, this offering emphasizes clean, simple design
and detailed workmanship.
The classical side of this Style is seen in the header cap, with
the doors and windows reflecting the lines of the classical crown.
Clean lines and classical details, taken directly from period molding
catalogs, make these moldings versatile for a variety of homes. |
