A spiraling golden tree of life fills this golden tree mahjong mat, its curling branches coiling into Klimt-style spirals studded with red and cream flowers and small birds, all worked in gold leaf over a warm amber ground. A row of mosaic eyes and diamonds frames the scene, edged by a gilt geometric border in bronze, teal and garnet.
It reads opulent and hypnotic. The gold ground makes the whole tree shimmer, tiles read clearly against the rich field, and the mosaic border frames the play like a Byzantine panel. Guests get drawn into the spirals before the first wall goes up.
The Art: Klimt Spirals
The tree is drawn in the Vienna Secession manner, branches spiraling outward in gold with jewel-toned rosettes, little birds and a flowering meadow at its base. A band of mosaic eyes frames the panel, and the outer border sets diamonds and triangles in gold, green and dark red. Detail crowds the branches but leaves reading room where hands move between rounds. A Klimt-style golden tree, not a plain botanical, is what carries this design.
On the Table
Neoprene construction gives it a smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base. Shuffle a wall and the soft surface quiets the clatter while staying kind to tile faces. Walls stay put. Racks, jokers and dice hold steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the gold deep in the fabric so it lasts through years of weekly games without cracking or fading.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is a compact square for smaller tables, tighter 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. Size up if your foursome likes elbow room.
