An antique sex toy with Anglo-Irish origins has been bought from an international buyer and will “return to Ireland”, the woman who ran a public campaign to acquire it has said.
“It made my heart sink when it was sold. It just seemed like such an important part of Irish sexual history,” Scott told The Irish Times. The businesswoman wrote on Twitter: “I don’t have the extra cash necessary to purchase the ghost-ridden ivory sex toy, and I have zero clue as to how museum management works or if anywhere would take it. OK folks. The auction is in 90 minutes, so I don't have time to set up a crowdfunding campaign. What I'm going to do is if anyone wants to contribute to our bid, they can paypal me the money , and if we don't win, I'll refund everyone back.
Speaking to The Times just before the item was sold auctioneer Damien Matthews explained that the original owner was fighting a battle in China, the 1899 Boxer Rebellion, where he decided to have it made and sent back to Ireland for his wife. “You can talk about it as a smutty thing, but this was very much an object of love and desire. It goes beyond erotica, it screams love and devotion.
