The Quatrefoil

For more inspiring quatrefoil images, please visit my companion site.

I have always loved the quatrefoil shape, which is composed of four equal lobes. Historically, the quatrefoil pattern is common in Gothic and Moorish architecture.

Ironies also makes a gorgeous quatrefoil style mirror called the 'Araby' mirror.

Walker Zanger makes a beautiful collection with quite a few quatrefoil shapes called 'Avignon' - it is worth looking at.
