Antique Chinese Mahjong Set in Fitted Wooden Cabinet

19th century
Description

A charming antique Mahjong set housed in its original fitted wooden storage cabinet. The cabinet is crafted in warm-toned wood with a traditional carrying handle and multiple graduated drawers, designed to neatly store the complete game set.

The drawers contain the original Mahjong bamboo tiles, bone counters, and playing accessories, with the tiles displaying classic engraved characters and symbols. The fitted interior reflects the care and craftsmanship associated with early 20th-century gaming sets, while the aged patina of the wood adds to its authenticity and decorative appeal.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mahjong originated in nineteenth-century China during the Qing Dynasty and rapidly gained global popularity in the 1920s. Sets produced during this era were frequently packaged in portable wooden cabinets with multiple shallow drawers designed to organise the tiles, counting sticks, and dice.

Authentic sets typically feature tiles constructed from bone dovetailed onto bamboo backings, housed in cabinets made from hardwoods such as rosewood, teak, or pine with brass or iron hardware fittings.

Authentic period pieces show hand-carved details on the tile faces, natural grain variation in the bone and bamboo layers, and dovetailed or sliding construction on the outer wooden storage cabinet.

A tabletop mahjong cabinet functions well as a decorative focal point on a bookshelf, sideboard top, or coffee table, adding historical character and rich wood tones to a room.

Keep the set in a stable climate away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood from warping or cracking. Dust the cabinet and tiles gently with a soft, dry lint-free cloth without using harsh chemical cleaners.
