A refined vintage cotton crochet doily measuring 26 cm across, featuring expertly executed pinwheel detailing and dimensional Irish roses in crisp white. The raised floral elements demonstrate superior craftsmanship characteristic of mid-century lace production. This substantial piece works beautifully as a decorative accent on furniture, within shadow boxes, or layered with linens for curated table styling. The quality cotton fibre and intricate hand-crochet construction make it a worthy addition to serious textile collections.
Today, these handmade treasures are increasingly rare as the skills fade from common practice. Collectors adore them for their nostalgia, decorators for cottagecore or farmhouse charm, and crafters for slow stitching, collage, or upcycling projects. Imperfections only add character—telling stories of the hands that lovingly made them decades ago.
Buying vintage like this is truly sustainable: high-quality, enduring items made with care, ready to be cherished all over again. A little piece of heartfelt history!
