Antique & Vintage Centerpieces and Doilies   ~ The back bone of Victorian decorating ~   The name “doilie” came to be from a series of events beginning in the latter part of 1800’s.  Up until that time doilies were most commonly called Rounds, Roundels or Roundells (the name varied by location).  Around 1880 emerged an industrious fellow by the name of Doyle who roamed the countryside’s of Ireland, calling on the peasants to make linens for him and forming a huge cottage industry.  These linens were then exported en masse around the world.  The products bought from Doyle, whether they be roundels, runners, or placemats were dubbed “Doylees” or “Doylies” by the shop owners.  The early women’s magazines soon began publishing articles on how the crafty housewife could replicate them.  It was probably they who narrowed down and titled their articles on Roundels as “Doylies”.    Be sure to click on each picture for more details!   3 dimensional Jonquil doilies - The full 3 pc set! $45.00 Vintage hand crocheted doilies in a clam shell pattern - perfect $22.00 Pink 3 piece Dresser Set - unused and perfect! $18.00 3 piece Vintage Dresser Set in Basket pattern - Immaculate $18.00 Antique Crocheted Oval Runner or Centerpiece - Huge WOW factor! $45.00 Antique Hand Crocheted 22" Centerpiece with tiny Popcorn Stitch - Really neat! $22.00 Sold Fancy Antique Hand Crocheted Centerpiece in pretty Fern pattern - 23" $22.00 Sold Lovely Vintage Irish Crocheted and Hair pin lace Centerpiece in a rich ecru $34.00 Enchanting pair of antique hand embroidered doilies - Shamrocks in high relief $22.00 Antique Oval Madeira embroidered Centerpiece - As pretty as it gets! $40.00 Sold Antique Linen 3 pc serving set with Pink & White Crochet - gorgeous $34.00 Sold Edwardian Linen Centerpieces with crocheted Rose detailing - Absolutely stunning! $34.00 Sold 24" Victorian hand crocheted Centerpiece - intricate and gorgeous $34.00 Sold Vintage pair of hand crocheted pansy doilies - An American classic! $36.00 Vintage hand crocheted centerpiece... beautiful birds $38.00 Sef of 3 frothy and perfect Bedfordshire Bobbin Lace Doilies - Soooo Victorian $70.00 Sold 30” antique linen tablecloth or centerpiece with lovely lace – frilly and beautiful $65.00 Antique Linen Embroidered Centerpiece - thistles and daisies – superb whitework! $85.00 Antique linen embroidered centerpiece with Cluny lace – fabulous for any table $85.00 Sold Antique hand crocheted filet centerpiece – Linen thread $26.00 Sold Delightful 4 pc embroidered serving set – absolutely amazing condition $95.00 Shabby but beautiful Antique Linen White Work Centerpiece $24.00 Hand crocheted Forget-Me-Not Doilie c.1940 $20.00 Sold Antique Wallachian White Work Doilie – Incredible nouveau pattern $36.00 Beautiful 30” Ecru Vintage Hand Crocheted Centerpiece $48.00 Frilly Antique Linen and Sol Lace Doilie perfect! $24.00 Antique Linen Wedding Centerpiece c. 1900 $45.00 Vintage Doilie Hand Crocheted in Bluebell pattern $14.00 Antique Hand Crocheted Centerpiece – intricate pineapple pattern $32.00 Sold Antique Victorian white on white embroidered doilie $38.00 Sold Exquisite antique linen & lace centerpiece - mint condition $68.00 3 piece vintage hand embroidered dresser set $18.00 Antique hand filet crocheted centerpiece - cherubs $62.00 Vintage oval hand embroidered centerpiece & 2 sides $44.00 Set of 12 pretty bobbin lace drink coasters $23.00 set of 13 Antique Irish hand crocheted coasters $78.00 Beautiful vintage hand crocheted centerpiece - cat tails $38.00 Pair of vintage hand tatted doilies - perfect! $30.00 Antique 20 piece hand crocheted tea set $118.00 Set of 14 antique hand crocheted goblet rounds $98.00 Set of 12 antique hand crocheted drink coasters $78.00 Antique hand crocheted centerpiece - morning glories $56.00 Sold antique hand crocheted peacock centerpiece - throw $68.00 Charming pair of matching hand crocheted doilies $22.00 set of 3 matching vintage sunflower doilies $32.00 Sold tatting
