A tuxedoed gentleman in round spectacles lifts a glass of whiskey inside a gilded oval, stepped skyscraper motifs rising behind him in emerald and gold. This art deco mahjong mat runs on 1920s glamour, with club and diamond card suits, fanned corners and cut-crystal tumblers set into the sides. The linework is all Jazz Age poster, precise and rich.
Set out for play, the deep green reads handsome and low-glare. Tiles pop against the darker ground, and gold traces every edge. Guests notice the figure first, then the card suits tucked into the border, then how the strong oval leaves the center clear for four hands.
The Art: The Gentleman's Pour
Composition is classic deco: a central oval, stepped geometry, and symmetrical fans anchoring the corners. Emerald carries the mood while gold sharpens the detail. The whiskey glasses and card suits give it a gaming-parlor wink. Motifs cluster toward the border, so the middle stays composed where discards land. It feels like a speakeasy that happens to host mah jongg.
On the Table
Built from neoprene with a smooth fabric top and a non-slip rubber base, the mat softens the clack of tiles and is kind to tile faces. Walls stand where you set them. Racks, dice and jokers stay put. Dye-sublimation drives the green and gold into the fabric, so the color holds through years of game nights with no cracking or fading.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) suits smaller tables, a snug corner, or travel to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field most groups use on a standard card table, with space for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Go large if your table allows.

Brush it off when play ends, wipe with a damp cloth if the pours were generous, and store it rolled, never folded.
