Gentle fawns look up from among anemones, bluebells and oak leaves at the edges of this bluebell deer mahjong mat, drawn in a William Morris-inspired style on a soft periwinkle-blue ground. A scalloped pale-blue medallion with a faint tonal scroll holds the center. The middle stays open and calm.
On a set table it reads woodland and serene. Guests notice the deer first, then the pale anemones and bluebells, then the medallion at center. The border is dense, yet the pale center stays clear, so ivory tiles and dark racks read cleanly with room to play.
The Art: Deer and Anemone
Drawn in an Arts-and-Crafts hand, the deer, anemones and bluebells gather density at the border and corners where the walls rise, leaving the center medallion clear beneath the tiles. Scrolling oak-leaf vines lace the field. Dye-sublimation keeps the periwinkle soft and the florals gentle.
On the Table
Neoprene gives it a smooth fabric top and a non-slip rubber base that grips the table. The soft surface quiets tile shuffling and treats tile faces kindly. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice sit where you place them. Dye-sublimation printing sets the color in the fibers, so weekly games won't crack or fade it.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is the compact square for smaller tables, tight corners and travel to the club. 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Full table? Size up.
