It's decorative, possibly of stone (7)

I believe the answer is:

festoon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's decorative' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'possibly of stone' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'of'+'stone'='ofstone'
'ofstone' anagrammed gives 'FESTOON'.

Can you help me to learn more?
