This exquisite vintage doily showcases delicate hand embroidery on natural linen, with vibrant floral motifs rendered in long stitch and finished with an intricate ecru crochet border. Crafted during the mid-20th century, these treasured pieces were traditionally stitched by Australian women as keepsakes for their glory boxes—collections of handmade linens prepared for married life. Measuring approximately 23 x 23 cm, this collectible displays excellent condition with only minor age-related patina. A refined addition to textile collections or period interiors, it reflects the skilled craftsmanship and sentimental value of wartime domestic artistry.
