Green Chinoiserie Toile Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Mat

A green-on-cream pagoda landscape fills this green chinoiserie toile mahjong mat, a many-tiered temple beside a lake where a junk boat drifts and figures cross a zigzag bridge, willows trailing and cranes wheeling past a soft moon. A dense chinoiserie floral border of peonies, pagodas and vines frames the whole scene.

It reads composed and unmistakably chinoiserie. The cream ground keeps tiles easy to read, the toile scene sits behind the play, and the floral border frames the table like antique wallpaper. Guests take in the pagoda and cranes before they reach for a tile.

The Art: Pagoda Toile

The whole scene is drawn in single-color green line on cream in the toile de Jouy tradition, willows, pagodas, boats and figures rendered with fine engraving-like detail. A blossom-and-pagoda band frames the panel, and the outer border scrolls peonies and vines. Detail fills the landscape but keeps the center readable where hands move between rounds. A green pagoda toile is what sets this design apart.

On the Table

Neoprene body, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface hushes the shuffle and is gentle on tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice sit steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the green into the fabric so it holds 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) fits 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 choose for a standard card table, with space for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. American and Chinese mahjong players alike tend to like the roomier size.
