A finial on a lamp is a decorative ornament or knob that is typically placed at the top of the lampshade or on the lamp base. It serves both a decorative and functional purpose by adding a finishing touch to the lamp's design and helping to secure the lampshade in place. The finial can also enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the lamp and complement the style of the room it is placed in.

The finial on a flagpole often contains a variety of elements, depending on its design and purpose. Commonly, it may house a ball or decorative element that serves as a crowning feature. In some cases, it can also include a mechanism for securing the flag, or a lightning rod to protect the pole and flag from lightning strikes. Additionally, some finials may have a hollow interior that could be used for storage or to conceal wiring for illumination.
I was informed that the top of a flag pole was called a truck. Now I learn that it is not a truck but a finial. The turck is the mechanism that connects the finial to the flag pole. IS this correct and where do these words come from.
It's called a lamp harp. The top (where you place the shade) is called a finial base, the little 'clips' at the bottom are called the harp base.
