Description

1930's complete mah jong set including 144 bakelite tiles, bone counting sticks, bakelite dice and instruction booklet in lovely hand painted lacquered box.

The tiles are very tactile, and make a lovely noise when being "twittered" or mixed. Bakelite is also very collectable.

Box top lifts off to display set. It is embellished both on top and bottom with birds and flowers. It is very unusual.

Size of case-10.25 inches wide by 8.25 inches deep by 3.5 inches high.

Size of tile-1 1/8 inches long by 7/8 inches wide by .50 inches thick.

In very good condition, this is a lovely and complete set.

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.
