Manfred Schotten Antiques is a dealer in sporting antiques at 109 High Street in Burford, which also trades online as Sport Antiques.
Its stock covers an unusually wide range of sports and pastimes, so it rewards a browse even if you have no particular sport in mind.
Golf is a speciality, with antique clubs, balls and bags, ceramics, books and trophies, but the shop also deals in cricket bats and memorabilia, tennis and other racquet sports, fishing tackle from rods and reels to flies and fish models, rowing and yachting, croquet and parlour games, billiards and snooker, and alpine and mountaineering equipment. There are pieces for followers of riding, coaching, racing and polo, and for enthusiasts of motoring, aviation and cycling.
Alongside the objects, the shop sells sporting art by artists such as Cecil Aldin, Lionel Edwards, Snaffles and Archibald Thorburn, together with campaign furniture, leather goods and luggage, walking sticks and binoculars.
The shop is about 35 metres from the Tolsey Museum, in the middle of the High Street, and Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens is a short drive south of the town.
