This picture shows a traditional colonial style stairway with oak newel posts and oak handrail. The handrail is an "over-the-post" style which uses shaped fittings to form a continuous, uninterrupted grip rail the full length of the stairway. Painted balusters, skirts and trim provide contrast and are very much in keeping with period tradition.
