A bouquet of purple and rose iris rises inside a gold quatrefoil medallion at the center of this iris medallion mahjong mat, more iris, poppies and a full rose blooming in the corners over a soft pearl ground threaded with teal and gold scrolls, dragonflies and tiny stars. A jeweled floral band steps out to an interlaced scroll border in plum and gold.
It reads like an illuminated manuscript page. The pale ground keeps tiles easy to read, the medallion holds the center, and the flowing scroll border frames the play with old-world elegance. Guests take in the jewel tones before the first wall goes up.
The Art: Iris in the Medallion
The iris bouquet is painted in violet, plum and dusty rose inside a gilded quatrefoil, ringed by corner florals and Art-Nouveau whiplash scrolls with cabochon jewels in the illuminated tradition. A jeweled band frames the panel, and the outer border interlaces plum-and-gold ribbon scrolls. Detail crowds the medallion and corners but leaves reading room where hands move between rounds. An illuminated iris medallion is what sets this one apart from a plain iris design.
On the Table
Neoprene construction, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface quiets the shuffle and protects tile faces. Walls stay put. Racks, jokers and dice hold steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the color deep in the fabric so nothing cracks or fades through years of play.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is a compact square for 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. Size up if your foursome likes room.
