Little songbirds rest among peonies and blossom branches at the corners of this sage songbird mahjong mat, drawn in a soft chinoiserie style on a warm cream ground. A gilt floral rosette marks the center, and a sage-green blossom-vine border frames the scene. The middle stays open and calm.
On a set table it reads gentle and classic. Guests notice the coral peonies first, then the birds on the branches, then the rosette at center. The cream field keeps ivory tiles and dark racks easy to read, and the open middle gives your hands room.
The Art: Songbird and Peony
Drawn in a soft chinoiserie hand, the peonies, blossoms and birds gather density at the corners and border where the walls rise, leaving the center clear for tile play. Birds rest along the arcing branches. Dye-sublimation keeps the corals warm and the sage soft.
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.
