Description

Doily: Large white oval cotton doily. There is an overall floral design made using several cutwork and embroidery techniques. Doily has scalloped cutwork and embroidered edges. The doily is large enough to be used on a dresser top. There is a light yellow-brown stain at center from top to bottom (probably a result of long term storage in an acidic container). Also a light pink stain at center left. Cannot see stains from a distance. Laundered and clean. Overall physical condition and appearance is good.
