Description
An elegant antique three-piece white console doily set dating to the **early 1930s, possibly late 1920s**, featuring romantic floral Schiffi chemical lace with softly scalloped white linen centers. Designed for use on a sideboard or buffet, this refined set reflects the decorative traditions of the early twentieth century home.
This attractive antique three-piece console doily set dates to the **early 1930s**, a period when decorative lace textiles remained an essential element of well-appointed interiors. Such sets were commonly arranged on a sideboard or buffet, providing both beauty and protection for fine furniture.
Traditionally, the two smaller doilies would have held candlesticks—often glass, china, or pottery—while the larger center mat supported an open bowl. That bowl might have been filled with fruit or flowers, or simply left unadorned to showcase the lacework itself.
The design features a romantic repeating **floral pattern executed in chemical lace**, a technique especially popular during the late 1920s and 1930s for its delicate appearance and durability. The lace surrounds a softly scalloped center of **white linen**, offering a pleasing contrast in texture and lending structure to the overall design. The balance between lace and linen reflects the refined yet practical aesthetic of the early 1930s household.
This timeless console set lends itself beautifully to traditional interiors, cottage-style homes, or layered vintage displays.

• Smaller doilies: approximately **9¼ inches diameter** (each)
• Larger doily: approximately **12½ inches diameter**
**Condition:**
Good antique condition. Clean and well-preserved, with light, age-appropriate wear consistent with careful use. No major flaws noted.
A charming and versatile early twentieth-century console set, offering both decorative appeal and a glimpse into everyday domestic life of the 1930s.
