Handrail and posts beside a staircase (10)

I believe the answer is:

balustrade

(Other definitions for balustrade that I've seen before include "Parapet" , "Form of railing" , "Row of pillars under rail" , "Railing at the side of a balcony" , "Railing supported on pillars" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
