Grey British Shorthair cats peek out from among anemones, lavender and trailing vines at the edges of this lilac Shorthair mahjong mat, drawn in a William Morris-inspired style on a soft lilac ground. A scalloped pale medallion with a faint tonal scroll holds the center. The middle stays open and calm.
On a set table it reads cozy and refined. Guests notice the round-faced cats first, then the pastel anemones and lavender, then the medallion at center. The border is dense, yet the pale center stays clear, so ivory tiles and dark racks read cleanly with room to play.
The Art: Shorthair and Anemone
Drawn in an Arts-and-Crafts hand, the cats, anemones and vines gather density at the border and corners where the walls rise, leaving the center medallion clear beneath the tiles. Scrolling foliage laces the field. Dye-sublimation keeps the lilac soft and the florals gentle.
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 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.
