About the Item
Antiques of London
A fine antique 1920s Mahjong set, complete with its original wooden storage box and the full complement of 144 tiles. Beautifully hand-crafted, each tile is made from bamboo and bone, a traditional combination prized for its durability and tactile quality.
The tiles are intricately engraved with classic Mahjong symbols — characters, bamboos, circles, winds, dragons, and flowers — all with a rich patina that only comes with age and play. The craftsmanship and detailing reflect the artistry of early 20th-century sets, making this an excellent example for collectors.
Housed in its original wooden slide-front box, the set is not only a functional game but also a piece of history. Mahjong grew in international popularity during the 1920s, particularly in the West, when it became a fashionable pastime.
This set remains in good antique condition, with age-related wear consistent with use, adding charm and authenticity. A wonderful addition for collectors of antique games, social historians, or those looking to enjoy Mahjong in its most authentic form.
Please carefully examine the pictures to see the condition before purchasing, as they form part of the description. If you have any questions, please message us.
