An eight-point gold star radiates from the center of a deep red field, layered with smaller stars, tulips and fine floral vine, framed by an indigo border of scrolling arabesque. This red Persian mahjong mat has the polished symmetry of a classic city carpet, gold and cream stars scattered across a formal ground.
On a set table it reads rich and orderly. The red makes ivory tiles pop, and the big gold star at the middle holds the eye while the smaller stars fill the field. Gold, navy or dark-wood racks feel made for it.
The Art: Star Medallion Field
A layered eight-point star at the heart, smaller star roundels, tulips and scrolling vine in gold, cream and indigo on deep red, drawn in the formal Persian manner. The central star holds the middle, and the pattern radiates out, so the richest detail sits where your eyes rest between hands, framed by the walls rather than hidden. An arabesque border squares it off.
On the Table
Neoprene made, smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base that grips any surface. The soft face quiets the shuffle and protects tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice sit steady. Dye-sublimation sets the red, gold and indigo into the fabric, so the carpet keeps its polish 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) suits smaller tables, tight corners and travel. 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. Four at a fixed table? Go large.
A Gift for the Classicist

- Players matching a mat to a red or jewel-toned room
Brush it off after the game, wipe with a damp cloth if the night ran long, and keep it rolled, never folded.
