Dollies "protect table tops from scratches that occur when moving things around or damage from wet glasses." [https://fromtimespast.com/2013/01/07/why-are-they-called-doilies/-9/7/2016] "The name "doily" originated from the surname "doily", a London firm of linen merchants who made fringed napkins in the 1700's. From 1711 a doily was a small ornamental napkin used at dessert." [https://fromtimespast.com/2013/01/07/why-are-they-called-doilies/-9/7/2016] |
