Finial is an ornamental decorative feature that forms the crowning point of a structure, piece of furniture or architectural element. Finials are commonly found on gateposts, staircases, clocks, lamps, curtain poles, furniture, garden urns and rooflines, where they provide both visual balance and decorative detail. Antique finials were crafted from materials including brass, bronze, wood, stone and cast iron.
