A whitewashed fishing village spills down a green hillside to a turquoise cove on this Cornish cove mahjong mat, with stone cottages, a little harbor and boats bobbing offshore. A border of sea thrift, daisies, shells and rowboats frames the painted scene. It reads like a summer afternoon on the Cornish coast.
Set for a game, it feels calm and salt-air fresh. Guests take in the cottages and cove first, then the fishing boat at the jetty, then the wildflowers along the coast path. The scene fills the center, yet ivory tiles and dark racks still read cleanly on top.
The Art: Seaside Village
Painted in a soft realist style, the village, hills and sea fill the panel while coastal wildflowers and boats run the border where your eye rests between hands. Gentle color keeps the mood restful. Dye-sublimation holds the greens, blues and pinks so the view stays fresh.
On the Table
Neoprene gives the mat a smooth fabric top and a non-slip rubber base that grips the table. The soft surface quiets tile shuffling and is gentle on tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice stay put. Dye-sublimation printing sets the color in the fabric, so a summer of weekly games won't crack or fade the scene.
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. For a full American mahjong table, choose the larger square.

Brush it clean after play, wipe with a damp cloth if the evening ran long, and store it rolled, never folded.
