While the purpose of finials on bed posts is mostly decorative, they do serve a purpose on curtain rods. They provide a way to keep a curtain from slipping off the end of a straight rod, while adding an artful touch and decorative interest to window treatments. Curtain rod finials come in many styles; including gothic and neo-classical architectural finials, while other contemporary finials reflect minimalist, art nouveau , and other traditional styles of décor. The use of different materials and finishes for finials is as wide as the range of designs, including brass, stainless steel, various woods ,and aluminum. The durability, strength, and mechanics of modern alloys have allowed finial designs to be more intricate, dazzling, and luxurious than ever before.
