Art Nouveau Iris Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Mat

A spray of purple and rose iris rises from a fan of peacock feathers at the center of this art nouveau iris mahjong mat, curling teal and gold whiplash scrolls and cabochon jewels framing the bloom, dragonflies and poppies tucked into the corners. A jeweled floral band steps out to an interlaced ribbon border on cream.

It reads like a Tiffany panel. The soft pearl ground keeps tiles easy to read, the iris and feathers hold the center, and the flowing scroll border frames the play with belle-epoque elegance. Guests take in the jewel tones before the first wall goes up.

The Art: Iris and Feather

The iris is painted in violet and dusty pink with gold outlines, rising from peacock plumes and Art Nouveau whiplash curves set with garnet and emerald cabochons. A jeweled band frames the panel, and the outer border interlaces ribbon scrolls in teal and gold. Detail crowds the center and frame but leaves reading room where hands move between rounds. A true Art Nouveau iris panel is what carries this design.

On the Table

Neoprene construction, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface quiets the shuffle and protects tile faces. Walls stay put. Racks, jokers and dice hold steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the color deep in the fabric so nothing cracks or fades through years of play.

Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"

The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is a compact square for smaller tables, tight corners and travel to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (80 x 80 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. Size up if your foursome likes room.
