Doilies have existed for centuries, but they are thought to have grown in popularity during the early Victorian era in Great Britain. Traditional doilies were crocheted or knitting using cotton, linen, and other fabrics. While the main purpose of doilies was decoration, it is believed that they also served a functional purpose to protect wood furniture. Royal Lace® has been manufacturing paper doilies since 1911. All of the doilies are processed using handmade dies that simulate authentic French and Belgian doily patterns from the 15th century. Geographics.com offers doilies in retail packs for French Lace, Normandy Lace, Medallion Lace, and Heart Lace designs. You can also find Basket Lace, Christmas Lace, Floral Lace, Gothic Lace, and Rose Linen Embossed doilies in bulk cases.
