Two peacocks stand mirrored at the base of a climbing tree of life, their long tails unfurling into a field of stitched roses, tulips and pomegranates on deep teal. This peacock mahjong mat borrows the layered symmetry of a William Morris tapestry, all worked in gold, rust and forest green. The border alone tells its own story of scrolling acanthus.
Set out on the table, the dark ground does something useful. Tiles read crisp against it, and ivory racks seem to float. Guests notice the birds first, then the small blossoms tucked between the vines, then the way the whole thing frames four hands of play without ever feeling busy at the center.
The Art: Mirrored Peacock Tapestry
Everything here is balanced around a vertical spine. The tree rises through the middle, flowers branch outward in even weight, and the peacocks anchor the lower corners so the eye keeps returning to the quiet center where discards land. Rust reds and antique golds warm the cool teal. The palette leans Arts-and-Crafts rather than literal nature, which is why it holds up as a repeating field instead of a single picture.
On the Table
The mat is neoprene: a smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base. That soft surface quiets the shuffle of tiles, the twittering of the sparrows, and treats tile faces gently. Walls stay put where you build them. Racks, jokers and dice settle without sliding. Color is set into the fabric by dye-sublimation, so the teal and gold hold through years of weekly games with no cracking and no 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, a tight dining corner, or the trip to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field most groups reach for on a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile in the middle. Pick the larger one if your table can spare the inches.
A Gift for the Morris Lover
- The hostess whose home already runs to rich botanicals and old-world color
- League and tournament players who want a dark, low-glare surface
- Anyone who collects peacock or Arts-and-Crafts motifs

Brush it off after the game, wipe with a damp cloth if the evening got lively, and store it rolled rather than folded.
