Such a lovely example of 1930s/40s handiwork! This is a hand crocheted ecru doily or table topper in the filet crochet style – very open and lacy. It is perfect for a dresser scarf or table runner. It measures 17 inches long x 12 inches wide. There are no flaws that I can see.

Originating in the late 19th century, filet crochet has a rich history and continues to be a popular choice for creating delicate and eye-catching designs today. It is technique that uses basic crochet stitches like chains and double crochet to create lace-fabric with beautiful patterns. These patterns, such as flowers and geometric shapes, are formed using open meshes and closed meshes. The technique was created to mimic lace and is often used to create intricate designs.
