White Linen Doily Handmade in Portugal

This white linen doily from Portugal was handmade in the early 20th century using openwork embroidery and lace. A centenary piece of Portuguese craftsmanship, it reflects patience, precision, and timeless beauty — created to endure and be treasured for generations.

Each border shows fine bobbin lace and drawn-thread work. Together, they frame the central linen panel with a soft geometric rhythm. The openwork pattern filters light beautifully, creating a gentle play of texture and shadow.

Traditionally used to decorate side or dining tables, this white linen doily from Portugal now fits naturally in contemporary interiors. It adds a layer of texture and quiet refinement to any home, blending easily with both vintage and modern pieces.

Preserved in excellent vintage condition, it was cleaned and restored with great care to maintain its original quality. This heirloom tells a story of skill and devotion — women who turned linen into art, stitching heritage into every detail.

Handmade in Portugal from pure linen and lace, it reflects Dalila’s philosophy: honoring tradition while reimagining it for today.
