The typical railing style on a Queen Anne Victorian porch is often referred to as the "spindle and bracket" or "gingerbread" style. This style is characterized by intricately designed spindles, balusters, or posts, usually made of wood, that are spaced close together. These spindles are usually turned or carved with decorative patterns and can be topped with various finials or ornaments. Additionally, the railing may have ornamental brackets or corbels supporting the top rail, adding further embellishment to the overall design.
