In this area square balusters were all the rage in the 30s.


I probably didn't explain it clearly enough ...


No, you misunderstood the answer. The chances are that, if there are
balusters behind the panelling, they are simple square pieces of timber.
Modernism, much inspired by Bauhaus, was the building style of the 1930s and
the turned bits of wood liked by the Victorians were definitely passé.
