lace doily
Decorative table mat
A lace doily is a small decorative mat made of lace or lace-like openwork, typically placed under vases, dishes, or ornaments to protect furniture and add elegance.
Once ubiquitous in formal parlors, doilies now evoke old-fashioned domesticity: Grandmother's coffee table was covered with lace doilies.
They remain common in bakeries and on serving plates.
