Two golden foxes sit facing each other at the base of a symmetrical scrolling vine, poppies and wild roses climbing through acanthus leaves on a rich teal ground. This teal fox mahjong mat is a classic William Morris tapestry, boxed by an ornate leaf-and-flower border in gold, sage and coral. Timeless, elegant, and warmly detailed.
On a set table the teal reads jewel-toned and low-glare. Ivory tiles and racks stand out beautifully, and the paired foxes anchor the lower center. Guests notice the two animals first, then the climbing poppies, then how the balanced border frames four hands without pulling focus from the middle.
The Art: The Facing Foxes
The two foxes mirror at the base of a central vine, foliage filling the field in balanced, all-over weight the way a Morris print does. Teal grounds it; gold, sage and coral lift it. Denser detail rings the ornate border, so the middle stays readable where discards gather. It reads as heritage tapestry rather than a single scene, which is why it holds up as a repeating field.
On the Table
Neoprene gives a smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base. The soft surface quiets the tile shuffle, the twittering of the sparrows, and is kind to tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice hold their spots. Dye-sublimation sets the teal and gold into the fabric, so color lasts through years of weekly games with no cracking or fading.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) suits smaller tables, a snug corner, or travel to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 cm) is the full-size field most groups pick on a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Go bigger if your table allows.

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