I've searched the word together with decoration, and a quick look at the links seems to confirm that a literal translation may be the one here... in the first link (and possibly in others) you can also see some photos |

"aste apicate" - Si tratta proprio di un apice, di una specie di vertice in alto.
"motivi apicati" - Si tratta di un motivo a forma di triangoli, quindi per motivo apicato si intende che ha in alto un apice, cioè un vertice.

(...) the vertical strokes of letters ending in slanting but blunt upper ends and pointed *tapering* or slightly inclined lower ends have a rhythmic harmony with the fine contour and proportion of its not-so-oval curves (...)
