Embroidered Thistle Doilies Set of 4 Round Scalloped Placemats | 40cm | Scottish Floral Table Linen

LEAD TIME UP TO TWO WEEKS

The thistle is one of the most quietly beautiful motifs in European folk textile tradition — thorned and resilient, but flowering in lilac and pink. These doilies render it with real delicacy: each bloom is stitched in graduated mauve and rose, the leaves and stems in sage and grey-green, against a sheer white ground with a scalloped edge finished in matching pink thread.

Use them as placemats for an afternoon tea setting, as centrepiece layers under a vase or candle, as a sideboard accent under a lamp, or stacked in a linen cupboard waiting for the right occasion. They're the kind of thing that makes a table look considered without trying too hard.

A set of four means a complete table for four — or a generous surplus for layering and styling. Machine washable, which means they're actually usable rather than purely decorative.
