Green hummingbirds hover among white peonies and blue hydrangeas along the border of this cream hummingbird mahjong mat, drawn on a warm cream ground with a soft sage center panel. A round medallion holds a hummingbird at the middle, framed by a green greek-key inner border. The center stays open and calm.
On a set table it reads fresh and elegant. Guests notice the darting hummingbirds first, then the white peonies and blue hydrangeas, then the medallion at center. The pale field keeps ivory tiles and dark racks easy to read, and the open middle gives your hands room.
The Art: Hummingbird and Peony
Drawn in a refined chinoiserie hand, the hummingbirds, peonies and hydrangeas gather density at the border and corners where the walls rise, leaving the center medallion clear beneath the tiles. Fine branch-and-blossom work laces the edges. Dye-sublimation keeps the greens rich and the creams warm.
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, that twittering of the sparrows through the Charleston, 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.
