This stairway had no baluster, and was not safe in the dark for strangers to the house. |
The early examples were generally heavily knopped, the main element of the stem often of baluster outline but with other swellings above, or below, or both. |
Small baluster castes were often converted to more useful pitcher cream jugs by the addition of handles and spouts. |
The stand, with its baluster legs and serpentine stretcher, is also japanned and similar to other European designs of this period. |
In some railing designs, baluster ends are cambered or beveled for appearance. |
The wild spasm passed, she rises to her feet, and stands leaning upon the baluster rail, looking out and listening. |
