Rose-pink peonies, golden chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms climb the corners of this garnet peony mahjong mat, with soft butterflies drifting over a warm cream center. A small garnet-and-gold medallion marks the middle, and a deep garnet floral border frames the whole scene.
On a set table it reads elegant and classic, that old painted-silk look. Guests notice the layered peonies first, then the mums and blossom branches, then the little butterflies. The cream center stays fairly open, so ivory tiles and dark racks read cleanly with room to play.
The Art: Peony and Chrysanthemum
Drawn in a classic chinoiserie hand, the peonies and mums build petal on petal while blossom branches arc across the field. Density gathers at the garnet border and corners where the walls rise, keeping the center clear for tiles. Dye-sublimation keeps the garnet deep and the pinks 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.
