The vertical pickets are the most common feature of balconies and railings; they serve both architectural and ornamental purposes. Their simplicity adds detail to the façade of any home or building. However, the Roman picket also has the corner ball finials to stand out. They add a subtle enhancement to a residential home or to a building meant to be inviting, such as hotels. This combination appears repeatedly throughout the city of Rome—the ball finial at the corner, with or without posts. This is one of our best sellers, due to its elegance and accessible price point. All our balconies are built with solid metal, whether wrought iron or aluminum.
