| Description : | An oval shaped white doily. |
| Fonctions : | Doilies were not very prevalent in our society until the mid to late 1800s, when well-born ladies were taught how to crochet them and they became a decorative staple in the Victorian home. They could be used both for serving food or covering furniture. These days not many people still create or decorate with them, and they are often seen as out-dated. |
