A pile of pumpkins and gourds heaps across the warm brown center of this autumn harvest mahjong mat, orange, white and striped-green squash tucked among wheat sheaves, maple leaves, acorns and pinecones, with a red cardinal and a little chickadee perched among them. A wheat-and-leaf band steps out to a rich autumn plaid border.
It reads like a Thanksgiving sideboard. The deep brown ground keeps tiles easy to see, the harvest spills toward the edges so the center stays workable, and the plaid border wraps the play in fall warmth. Guests get a cozy, October feeling right away.
The Art: The Harvest Pile
Each pumpkin and gourd is painted with a textured, dimensional skin, heaped with wheat, maple leaves and acorns in the manner of an old harvest still life. The cardinal and chickadee add life, a wheat-sheaf band frames the panel, and the outer plaid border layers rust, gold and green. Detail crowds the harvest but leaves room where hands move between rounds. A full autumn tableau, not a single motif, is what sets this design apart.
On the Table
Neoprene construction gives it a smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base. Shuffle a wall and the soft surface quiets the clatter while staying kind to tile faces. Walls stay put. Racks, jokers and dice hold steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the color deep in the fabric so it lasts through years of weekly games without cracking or fading.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is a compact square for smaller tables, tighter corners and travel to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field most groups pick for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Size up if your foursome likes elbow room.
