Description :

A beautifully crafted antique Mahjong set featuring hand-carved bone-and-bamboo tiles housed in a traditional hardwood case with ornate brass fittings. Each tile displays classic circle, bamboo, and character motifs in red, green, and blue — carefully engraved and hand-painted with rich detail. The set reflects early 20th-century Chinese craftsmanship, produced during the 1920s–1940s when bone-and-bamboo Mahjong sets were made for both domestic use and export.

  • Materials: Bone and bamboo tiles; hardwood case with brass hardware

  • Dimensions: Box measures approximately 6” H × 8” W × 5.5” D; tiles measure 1” × ¾” each

  • Details: Hand-carved and ink-filled tiles stored in sliding drawers; brass handle and latch with decorative floral motifs


Authenticity Note:

The layered bone-and-bamboo construction, hand-engraved designs, and handmade brass fittings are indicative of authentic early 20th-century Chinese Mahjong sets, preceding the mid-century plastic reproductions.
