Hello Alessandra
I agree with the others that your doily is very nice, but probably not
vintage.
There is a page on my website showing detail of a modern Chinese
needlelace mat of mine which had some damage near the edge so I
carefully unpicked it to prove that it's handmade. Although the ground
is different the patterned parts of your doily do seem to be very
similar to mine
