Brocade? Placemats. Hand embroidered or machine?

    Good day all,

    I know nothing about embroidery or textiles. Got these three pretty place mats in a small bag of goodies at the thrift store, and wondered if anyone can pinpoint their age, as well as whether they were machine or hand made.



    Thanks.

    These were made in Italy (Im pretty sure ) and Ive got the square one I use as a dollhouse rug . Probably doilies from the 40s-50s.

    I have had them pass through my hands before... yes, 40's 50's... mine were stamped "Made in Belgium".
    Cheerio,
