Blue and lilac hydrangea heads gather at the corners and along the edges of a soft antique-cream ground, linked by pale French scrollwork and sprays of tiny forget-me-nots, a small hydrangea cartouche at the center. This cornflower hydrangea mahjong mat has a faded-heirloom grace, dusty-blue borders framing a calm, roomy field.
On a set table it reads gentle and lived-in, like a favorite old linen. The cream center lets ivory tiles rest quietly while the hydrangeas glow at the edges, and the soft scrollwork gives it a French-country polish. Gold, cream or blue racks all belong here.
The Art: Cornflower Hydrangea Scroll
Blue and lilac hydrangea clusters painted petal by petal, sage leaves, forget-me-nots and pale grey-blue scrollwork over an aged cream ground. The center stays open and calm, so the play area, where hands rest between the walls, breathes while the flowers hold the corners. A small hydrangea cartouche marks the middle.
On the Table
Neoprene built, smooth fabric top on a non-slip rubber base that grips wood or glass. The soft surface quiets the shuffle, that twittering of the sparrows, and treats tile faces gently. Walls hold. Racks, jokers and dice sit steady. Dye-sublimation locks the blue and cream into the fabric, so the hydrangeas keep their softness through years of weekly games 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, tight 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. Four regulars at home? Size up.
A Gift for the Soft Romantic
- The hostess who sets a gentle, heirloom-linen table
- Weekly groups who love soft, faded-antique florals
- Someone learning the game who wants a calm, pretty field
- Players matching a mat to a blue, cream or French-country room
Brush it off after play, wipe with a damp cloth if the night got lively, and store it rolled rather than folded.
