Strictly speaking, the English is "newel post finial in the shape of a pine cone". But 'finial' or 'cap' would probably be fine or if you prefer 'newel post finial/cap'

newel post cap
Le pilier au bout de l'escalier, le poteau, est "newel post" en anglais, et la boule, ou le carré, qui le décore, s'appelle un "newel post cap".
Example sentence:
The crowning feature to any staircase, newel posts and newel caps offer you the chance to really make a style statement, adding the finishing touch to any new or renovated staircase.
