Quatrefoil Dining Table

Description

The design of the Quatrefoil Dining Table was inspired by the age-old symbol of harmony, wholeness, and good fortune – the quatrefoil. The word quatrefoil means four leaves, from the Latin “quattuor” which means four, and “folium” meaning leaf. Shah Gilani, ISFD, in designing this table, used the Mughal version of the quatrefoil as used in carved stone screens of that period. The quatrefoil symbolizes faith, hope, love, and luck due to its four-lobed clover-like shape. The Quatrefoil Dining Table Base is made by a casting process. Molten metal is poured into a mold that can be used only once. The rough casting is smoothed by a master craftsman. This is a long and laborious process requiring great attention to detail. The final product receives one of our hand-applied multi-layer finishes. The robust metal base is designed to support a heavy glass or other top without flexing. Custom sizing is available.
