This sculptural display cabinet exemplifies the refined glamour and precision engineering that defined Jones’ work during the 1970s. Constructed with substantial 2-inch thick square Lucite uprights, polished chromed steel stretchers, and four thick adjustable glass shelves, the piece achieves both visual lightness and structural authority — a hallmark of museum-quality Jones designs.

The dramatic double-arched Lucite crown adds a distinctive architectural presence, elevating this etagere beyond standard display shelving. The transparency of the Lucite combined with the reflective chrome creates a floating effect, making it ideal for interiors that demand sophistication without visual heaviness.

The four glass shelves are fully adjustable via integrated pin supports, allowing designers flexibility for books, sculpture, decorative objects, luxury retail display, or curated art collections.

This piece works exceptionally well in:
High-end residential interiors
Beverly Hills / Palm Springs modern estates
Contemporary penthouses
Fashion boutiques or luxury retail environments
Gallery or art-forward interiors

Charles Hollis Jones’ signed and dated works from the 1970s are increasingly sought after by collectors of American modernism, Hollywood Regency, and Lucite furniture. His designs were favored by prominent designers and architects for their clean geometry and timeless glamour.
