A home listing is causing a stir online for the homeowner’s controversial bedroom decor.
The advertisement for the house in the semi-rural suburb of North Richmond near Sydney features a photo of one of the bedrooms decked out with a collection of golliwog dolls.
An image of the room full of the divisive dolls was posted on the satirical Instagram page Lords of property.
A home listing for a home in North Richamond, NSW, is causing an uproar online for including an image of a bedroom decorated with a collection of golliwog dolls
The three-bedroom unit retails for $635,000 to $650,000 and features a “modern” kitchen, open-plan living room, and “sunlit” backyard.
However, it caught viewers’ attention for the assortment of nearly 20 golliwog toys on display in one of the three bedrooms.
The dolls are considered by many to be a racist caricature, as their design, with exaggerated features, was inspired by black-faced minstrel shows popular in the US in the late 1800s.
The listing raised a lot of eyebrows online and some wondered why the agent would even include the image.
“Wouldn’t (you) just not hang that picture?” one person asked.
“So weird that there’s nothing else in the room, it’s like it’s completely empty… except for the dolls. Psycho-neo-Nazi vibes for sure,” said a second.
“It’s like a nightmare come to life,” a third wrote, while another joked, “That room needs to be bulldozed.”
