Quirky Skeleton

Meet Barney – The Quirky Skeleton Waiting to Join Your Home!

If you’ve visited The Warehouse Antiques & Collectables in Setchey recently, you may have spotted a rather unusual character hanging around - quite literally. Say hello to Barney, our charming 1970s medical skeleton!

Once a valuable teaching tool in medical schools, Barney is a relic from a time before digital anatomy software and virtual dissections. With his metal joints and aged patina, he brings with him a real sense of history, along with a touch of macabre charm.

A Conversation Starter Like No Other

Barney isn't just a curiosity; he’s a statement piece. Whether you're a collector of unusual vintage items, have a flair for the theatrical, or simply want something to wow your guests, Barney is ready to bring a little life (or death!) to your décor.

Why not dress him up with a bowler hat, stand him in a cosy corner of your lounge, or let him keep watch over your home office? He’s the ultimate talking point.

Browse our range of antiques and collectables to find Barney and other unique pieces that defy convention.

Not into Skeletons? No Problem!

We know Barney might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s the beauty of The Warehouse. With over 15,000 square feet of antiques, vintage items, and quirky collectables, there’s something for every taste and style. From classic furniture and mid-century treasures to retro décor and nostalgic memorabilia, we even have a Crystal Stand - you never know what you’ll find around the next corner.

Come and explore, get inspired, and discover your next conversation piece—whether it’s a skeleton or something a little less bony!
