Ok the brownstone I live in has a great staircase, with a cool newel post, there is also a small landing at the foot of the stairs. At the base of the stairs there is another newel post and a thing on top of it that extends out from the wall. It’s a cool detail i would like to keep but maybe replace with something nicer. Can someone tell me what this thing is called? I’ll post an image soon. help.
You want to replace that beautiful fretwork with something NICER?
It’s your house, so, of course you can do whatever you want, but please, store it away so that a future owner can restore it, if wanted.
it is called fretwork
Image would help, right now it’s just called a thing sticking out of the wall.
