Meet the pretzel: the curvy, sculptural show-off that made Dorothy Thorpe a mid-century legend.
Thorpe wasn’t your typical designer, she never trained formally. She just had taste, hustle, and a talent for turning simple items into something glamorous. From Hollywood homes to cocktail bars, her silver-banded pieces became the quiet flex of the 1950s and ’60s. And this pretzel? It’s one of her most iconic shapes.
This silhouette that looks good literally anywhere. Light it up with taper candles or leave it as a standalone sculpture as it holds its own.
Please mind: it has some tiny oxidation spots on the top gold brass part. The plastic lucite bit is still in good vintage condition.
