Solid wood, gorgeously turned, full of old-house gravitas
Has that timeworn patina that Restoration Hardware has been trying (and failing) to fake for decades

If your staircase feels naked, let this 1869 beauty dress it up with 150+ years of architectural swagger. It’s not just a post—it’s the stairway’s mic drop.
