From the Estate of Candice B. Groot

Jan 30, 2016 23:31

If you're looking for some light entertainment this weekend I can highly recommend perusing Treadway Toomey's catalogue for their forthcoming auction of Fine Timepieces, Erotica and Decorative Arts from the estate of Candice B. Groot (what an epic name!). And my goodness what an eclectic eye Candice had when it came to erotica!! There's all sorts here from a wide range of periods, every corner of the globe, catering to an astonishing array of kinks.









Interestingly, though perhaps unsurprisingly given the date of the collection, there is only one piece of homosexual erotica and, predictably, it's a crude (in every sense of the word) illustration of sailors.



I'm sure there's a tumblr meme about this very activity

The catalogue coyly warns that:

Many items in this collection are of an erotic nature. Images in this online catalog may be inappropriate for minors and the gentle of heart.

I can't comment on the gentleness of your hearts, but you're all grownups, so I'm not going to warn for erotica, but I am going to warn for the hilariously bad taxidermy which also features in the collection. Not that I'm in the business of kink shaming anyone, but seriously, what were you thinking Candice?!

homosexuality, auction, art, nonsense
