This is an original screen used movie prop newel post with plaster inset from James Cameron's 1997 TITANIC Movie. This newel post is made of oak and has a plaster mold inset which would have all been painted to look like oak. This peice came from the 1st class Grand Stair Case set which was built and then sunk and destroyed in a tank at Fox Studios Baja. Not much of the set remains today and much of the plaster work was badly damaged during filming. This newel face would have come from the wall and not a column in the middle of the floor.
