Seashell Coastal Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Mat

Scallops, a chambered nautilus, a spiny conch, cowries and orange starfish rest on painted sand across the center of this seashell coastal mahjong mat, scattered with sea glass, sand dollars and little sprigs of seaweed. A navy shell band steps out to a rolling blue wave border and a twisted rope frame at the edge.

It reads like a walk on the beach. The sandy ground keeps tiles easy to see, the shells fill the field without crowding the center, and the rope-and-wave edge frames the play like a captain's chart. Guests get a seaside-cottage feeling right away.

The Art: Shells on the Sand

Each shell is drawn in soft watercolor detail, from the striped nautilus to the pink-mouthed conch, arranged on a stippled sand ground with sea glass and seaweed tucked between. A navy border of small shells and sand dollars rings the scene, and the outer rope-and-wave frame gives it a nautical finish. Detail spreads across the field but leaves room in the middle where hands move between rounds. A true shell-collector scene, not a floral, is what makes this design different.

On the Table

Neoprene construction, smooth fabric top, non-slip rubber base. The soft surface quiets tile shuffling and protects tile faces. Walls stay put. Racks, jokers and dice hold steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the sandy tones deep in the fabric so it will not crack or fade after countless games.

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 pick for a standard card table, with space for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Size up if your foursome likes room.
