Little sparrows rest and take flight among cascading wisteria on this lilac sparrow mahjong mat, drawn on a soft lavender ground. A round medallion holds a sparrow on a wisteria branch at the center, over a faint tonal floral. The middle stays open and calm.
On a set table it reads gentle and spring-soft. Guests notice the trailing purple blooms first, then the sparrows tucked among them, then the medallion at center. The pale lavender field keeps ivory tiles and dark racks easy to read, and the open middle gives your hands room.
The Art: Sparrow and Wisteria
Drawn in a soft chinoiserie hand, the wisteria and sparrows gather density at the corners and border where the walls rise, leaving the center clear for tile play. Fine branch-and-blossom work laces the edges. Dye-sublimation keeps the lavenders soft and the greens fresh.
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.
