While renovating this staircase, out clients wanted a more modern look that would blend with their love of traditional. While we all loved the airiness that acrylic rods would give, I was unsettled about how it would meld with traditional. I just HAD to find something to give it an edge. Inspired but an antique lucite dining table in my scrap book, I found an antique reproduction brass fitting slated as an antique clock mount. This brass cup is what you see connecting the stair rod to the stairs and floor, adding a touch of traditional to this rich, sinewy staircase.
