What is the screw on top of a lamp called?
1 Answer
The screw on top of a lamp is called a finial. On most lamps, the finial remains visible once the lampshade is in place; it often has a decorative design that enhances the overall appearance. The finial usually screws into the harp, the curving wire part of the lamp that supports the shade. Shop a wide variety of lamps on 1stDibs.
