Pomegranate Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Table Mat

Split pomegranates spill their ruby seeds across the deep burgundy center of this pomegranate mahjong mat, clustered with grapes, figs and quince on twisting branches while a small bird perches above and a lizard slips below. A green laurel band steps out to a fruit-and-vine border of pomegranates, figs and grapes on cream.

It reads like a Renaissance still life. The dark red ground makes the fruit glow, tiles read clearly against it, and the fruit border frames the play like an old master panel. Guests get a rich, painterly-harvest feeling right away.

The Art: The Fruit Table

Each pomegranate is painted with a burst of glistening seeds, set among grape clusters, figs and quince with a songbird and a gold tassel in the Dutch still-life tradition. A laurel band frames the panel, and the outer border strings pomegranates, figs and grapes through scrolling vines. Detail crowds the fruit but leaves reading room where hands move between rounds. A lush fruit still life, not a single motif, 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.
