Charles Hollis Jones Lucite and Brass "Classic" Bar/Serving Cart
About the Item
Beautiful and rare Lucite and brass serving/bar cart designed by Charles Hollis Jones and manufactured by Swedlow in the early 1960s, this piece is part of the "Classic" collection
The Classic line was inspired by architect John Elgin Woolf and Gladys Belzer. John Woolf was one of the more affluent and verbal architects in Hollywood and is really the one who created the style that came to be known as Hollywood style. He coincidentally also designed Loretta Young’s home in Los Angeles. Gladys Belzer (Loretta Young’s mother) was also a well-known interior designer that often told Charles that he needed to design more Classic pieces for the Hollywood aesthetic.
This particular piece is in original/untouched condition with some dark spots in some areas of the metal as shown in the photos, the glass is also original and has some light scratches, the Lucite shows a little crazing due to cleaning but overall it is a beautiful piece of furniture.

Charles Hollis Jones
The now omnipresent design use of acrylic and Lucite owes much of its enduring popularity to seasoned creative Charles Hollis Jones. Nicknamed “Mr. Lucite,” the California-based furniture designer and artist made his reputation — and contributed to a lasting legacy for a material one might not immediately consider highbrow — with chairs, tables and other furnishings in the substance scientifically known as polymethyl methacrylate. But while the connecting thread through Jones’s body of work is the presence of translucent materials, his designs are anything but one-note.
The son of an Indiana carpenter, Jones has always been fascinated with structure and reinventing expected ones in new ways. He began working with furniture manufacturers while still a teenager and came to prominence in the 1960s and ’70s, researching and experimenting with techniques to shape acrylic into unconventional forms. “If I design a T-A-B-L-E without thinking of the name, then I can pretend I’ve never seen one,” he told PIN-UP magazine. His design combinations run the gamut from Lucite, brass and glass on elegant dining tables to more unusual applications of Lucite as legs for upholstered sofas and frames for Tibetan fur chairs.
Jones’s work is as varied as his client list, which has included Frank Sinatra, Sylvester Stallone and the Kardashians. For Tennessee Williams, he created a writing chair called the Wisteria chair. Jones also collaborated several times with modernist architect John Lautner, designing furniture that seemed to disappear into its surroundings.
He resides in Los Angeles, where he still designs today.
