A fringed red tulip spreads at the center of this red tulip mahjong mat, framed below by two carnations and above by a row of upright red buds. Green vine-work fans out across the cream diamond, held in by a forest-green frame and a gold-and-garnet geometric outer border.
Everything about it feels folk-art tidy and warm. The cream field keeps tiles easy to read, the green vines give racks a resting line, and the crisp geometric edge squares off the play. Guests read it as festive without it tipping into holiday.
The Art: Fringed Tulip Folk
The central bloom is drawn with feathery, serrated petals in the old Ottoman-tulip spirit, its reds ranging from scarlet to deep ruby. Symmetrical vines, small red daisies and berry clusters balance each side, and a diamond-and-cross border in gold gives it a tiled, ceramic finish. The eye rests on the center bloom between hands while the busy work stays at the frame. That fringed folk-tulip is what marks this one out from a simple flower print.
On the Table
Neoprene body, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface quiets tile shuffling and is gentle on tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice hold their spots on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the reds and greens into the fabric so the color survives 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) is a compact square for smaller tables, tighter corners and carrying to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field most groups choose for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Size up if your foursome likes space to spread out.

Give it a brush after the last hand, wipe with a damp cloth if the night ran long, and store it rolled instead of folded.
