ABOUT THIS PIECE
This doily has an elongated oval shape with pointed ends, sometimes called a marquise shape. Hand-crocheted doilies like this were traditionally used to protect and decorate furniture surfaces. A circular medallion anchors the center, surrounded by rows of openwork crochet and additional medallions around the border. The cotton thread is soft after cleaning and a light pressing. The scalloped edges lie with a gentle ruffle, giving the piece a little dimension rather than a completely flat finish.
INSPIRATION
Place this doily beneath a small lamp or a vase of flowers, where its pointed ends and lacework can remain visible. It would also be lovely on a vanity beneath a jewelry or trinket box.
Styling props shown in photos are not included. Listing is for the doily only.
