The Cliffs of Gold Collection: The Horizon Crest

The Horizon Crest | Baroque Armchair in Jim Thompson Matelassé

The Horizon Crest, part of the sculptural duet that defines the Cliffs of Gold Collection, is a Baroque-style armchair inspired by the grandeur of 17th-century design and reimagined for refined modern interiors. Hand-carved from solid oak, its frame reveals intricate scrollwork, floral detailing, and a distinctive scalloped back—an ode to craftsmanship where ornament becomes architecture.

A sculptural apron and gently flared legs emphasize the chair’s graceful weight and visual rhythm, drawing the eye along each curve and contour. Every detail honors its historical lineage while inviting reinterpretation for the contemporary interior.

Upholstered in burnished gold Jim Thompson matelassé, the textile was chosen to echo the chair’s sculptural flow. Its wave-like texture mirrors the movement of the carved frame, glimmering with depth and resonance—like sunlit stone rippling across water—offering both tactile intrigue and radiant warmth.

Whether placed as a standalone statement or paired with its counterpart, The Solstice Crest, this armchair embodies the quiet drama of sculptural seating. Perfect for luxury living rooms, grand salons, or entryways that call for theater, The Horizon Crest invites both reverence and conversation.

For interior designers and collectors alike, it is more than a chair—it is a storied heirloom, a moment of artistry, and a lasting tribute to the union of material, memory, and form.

Woven in a warm, metallic bronze tone, Railay Bronze by Jim Thompson offers a subtle shimmer and versatile sophistication. The abstract palette brings understated richness that pairs effortlessly with both neutral and jewel-toned interiors. Its surface texture and tonal variation create quiet movement, lending depth and dimension without overpowering a space.
