The Cliffs of Gold Collection: The Solstice Crest

The Solstice Crest | Baroque Armchair in Jim Thompson Matelassé

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

Its sculptural apron and gently flared legs establish a graceful rhythm, drawing the eye along each curve with architectural precision. Every detail honors its historical lineage while inviting reinterpretation for today’s most elevated spaces.

Upholstered in burnished gold Jim Thompson matelassé, the textile was chosen to echo the chair’s own sculptural movement. Its wave-like relief mirrors the curves of the carved frame, glimmering with depth and resonance—like sunlit stone rippling across water. The result is a harmony of material and form, where textile and woodwork converse as one.

Whether placed as a standalone statement or paired with its counterpart, The Horizon Crest, this armchair embodies the quiet drama of sculptural seating. For interior designers and collectors, it is more than a chair—it is a storied heirloom, a work 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.
