ABOUT STAIR RODS

Stair Rods are a traditional means of holding stair runner carpets in place. They may be made of brass, beaten steel, or wood. Simple designs have plain round rods, simple geometric brackets, and plain round finials. More elaborate designs may have pineapple finials, and decorative rope-shaped rods. Wood stair rods are usually triangular in shape. Brass stair rods are available in a wide range of finishes, including Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Dark Bronze, and Pewter.
