Finial
[NOUN]What is a "finial"?
A finial is a decorative element that is typically placed at the end of a curtain rod or on top of a lamp or furniture piece. Finials can be made of a variety of materials, such as metal, wood, glass, or ceramic, and come in a range of shapes and sizes. They are designed to add a decorative touch to the item they are attached to, and can be simple or ornate in design. Finials are commonly used on curtain rods to hold the curtains in place and prevent them from sliding off the end of the rod. They can also be used as a decorative accent on furniture, lamps, and other household items, and are a popular choice for those looking to add a touch of style and elegance to their home decor.
