This Saddle Post mounts a 1.5-inch OD brass handrail by cradling the round tube in a saddle on top of the post, which fastens to the mounting surface. It comes pre-assembled as one polished brass piece, so each post in a multi-post run drops in ready to carry the rail without any build-up from separate components. Use it for a traditional brass handrail, a brass handrail restoration, or any run where the saddle look and solid brass material are what you want, post after post down the line. The one-piece pre-assembled form keeps it simple to specify and install compared with the three-piece modular saddle post that uses the same cradle mechanism.
