Quatrefoil is a decorative shape made up of four equal lobes radiating around a central point — like a four-leaf clover or four overlapping circles. The motif has appeared in Gothic stained-glass windows, Renaissance ironwork, and contemporary American architecture for centuries.

In the Basil, the quatrefoil shape becomes a softly scalloped drum shade — four gentle curves wrapped in vertically ribbed clear glass framed in brass — making the chandelier read as instantly classic from every angle.

Two sizes, both with the same H 15.7″ (40 cm) profile:

Small: ∅ 19.7″ × H 15.7″ (Dia 50 × H 40 cm) — takes 4 × E26/E27 bulbs. Best for primary bedrooms, dining nooks, foyers, or small entryways.
Large: ∅ 23.6″ × H 15.7″ (Dia 60 × H 40 cm) — takes 5 × E26/E27 bulbs. Best for full-size dining rooms, living rooms, and stairwell installations.

The Basil uses two types of glass for layered light distribution:

Vertically ribbed clear glass wraps the sides of the drum — the bulbs are visible through it, and the ribs refract their output into a subtle prismatic shimmer that catches the eye. This is the visual focal point.
Frosted glass diffuser sits at the bottom of the drum as a flat disc — it softens the downward output, eliminating harsh hot spots and bright points on the floor or table beneath.

The combination gives you decorative shimmer overhead and gentle, glare-free wash beneath — ideal above dining tables and seating areas.

Standard E26 / E27 screw-base bulb (LED or Edison). Use E26 in North America, E27 in Europe and the UK. Bulbs are not included.

Because bulbs are visible through the ribbed clear glass, we recommend vintage Edison-style filament bulbs for the most flattering visual effect — the warm filament refracted through the ribs is part of the look. Warm-white LED Edison-style bulbs (2700K) are also a great option for energy efficiency.

The fixture works with a common wall switch; for dimming, pair with dimmable LED bulbs and a compatible wall dimmer.

The Basil is a semi-flush ceiling chandelier — it hardwires to a standard ceiling junction box, then suspends a short distance below the canopy on rigid brass rods (not a hanging cord). The drum shade hangs about 15.7″ (40 cm) below the ceiling.

See the illustrated installation steps above, or download the full installation PDF below for a complete walkthrough. An electrician is recommended unless an existing junction box is already in place.

The Basil's brass-and-glass quatrefoil pairs effortlessly with traditional, transitional, and modern-classic interiors. Best placements:

Small: primary bedrooms, dining nooks, breakfast areas, small foyers, walk-in closets.
Large: full-size dining rooms, formal living rooms, two-story entryways, stairwell installations.

Pairs especially well with cream walls, walnut furniture, brass hardware, marble counters, and classic textile palettes.
