balustraded
Having decorative railings
Balustraded describes something fitted with a balustrade—a railing supported by short decorative pillars called balusters: a balustraded terrace overlooking the garden, the balustraded staircase of the old mansion.
The word appears most often in architectural descriptions and period fiction.
