Making its way to Europe along the Silk Road, carved and printed upon luxury objects such as carpets, velvets, and silks, the quatrefoil enjoyed frequent use in Gothic and Renaissance cathedrals. The Gothic Revival of the 19th century brought it back as designers looked to the past for inspiration. Today, it’s used by luxury brands around the world. Our Ballston adds even more glamour to the revered quatrefoil shape by adorning it in multifaceted walls of crystal beads through which the concealed light source shines out.
