Questions About Staircase Newel Post
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A newel post is the post at the center of a winding staircase, and is surmised to be called a newel post after the Old French word noiel, meaning knot, and the Vulgar Latin word nodellus, meaning little knot. Browse a variety of newel posts from top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Newel posts tend to be expensive because of their materials and construction. Ones sold at high price points are usually solid wood and produced by skilled woodworkers who perform all of the turning and carving by hand. More economically priced machine-made versions made of veneered plywood are also available. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of newel posts.
