European Vintage Doily
Product Details
The production year is unknown, but it was purchased from a dealer specializing in vintage textiles.
Purchased in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Material: Linen
A handmade doily composed of approximately three types of techniques:
1. Center: Drawn thread and cutwork embroidery techniques.
2. Intermediate ring-shaped motif band (continuous loops): A technique where small holes are made and the edges are overcast with buttonhole stitch.
3. Fine mesh section on the outer edge:
Similar structure to bobbin lace and crochet lace. Woven with fine threads to connect motifs.
A composite structure of tape-like motifs (sewn) + mesh connections (bobbin or needle), meaning it is a small lace piece constructed by combining sewing and weaving.
*The tape-like motifs are separately made tape laces.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
