The Armory will soon lose Kink's famed (and prurient) film studios, and to ready the space for its new tenants, the adult entertainment company is cleaning house with an estate sale.

But before your mind wanders, take notice: The sale will mostly send off lots of furniture and vintage things, including framed art, American and European antiques, a Brunswick red felt slate pool table, old globes, silk and brocade drapes, an 8-foot mahogany grandfather clock, and a black W.K. Kimball grand piano.

But this is still Kink, of course, so in addition to such rated-G items, the company will also be selling erotic art, costumes, mannequins, and "kink-related implements and toys."

"It's not your grandmother's estate sale," says Kink.com spokesperson Mike Stabile. "Those with more discerning tastes will definitely find a little leather mixed in with the lace."

There are also some curveball listings in the lineup of items for sale, including a Hoist exercise gym system, a steel birdcage, at least one wheelchair, a human-sized hamster wheel, "machine shop equipment" — whatever that entails — and, frankly unsurprisingly, vintage dental and gynecological chairs.

"In our decade in the Armory, we spent almost as much time decorating it as we did shooting in it," says Stabile. "Anyone who came here on a tour, or for a party, or a business meeting will remember the high Victorian décor, the vintage furniture, the walls of art, and the tremendous history. There are some truly amazing pieces, and we're excited for them to have new homes."

The sale takes place at the Armory's Drill Court on April 6-10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. See some of the oddest listings in the above gallery, and the whole list here at The Yes Co.'s website.
