W R Harvey & Co is an antiques dealer occupying a prime spot in Witney, a historic market town built on centuries of blanket-making tradition.
The shop focuses on fine English and Continental furniture, decorative arts, and period paintings, primarily from the 18th and 19th centuries. You'll also discover silver and other objets d'art displayed throughout the thoughtfully arranged rooms.
This is genuinely the sort of place where time disappears. Every piece carries real craftsmanship and history worth exploring, whether you're a seasoned collector or someone who simply appreciates well-made objects from another era. The staff understand their inventory deeply and will talk you through pieces at whatever length you'd like, without any pressure to buy.
After browsing, Witney itself rewards further exploration. The town has a good mix of independent shops and cafes that give it genuine character, and it works well as a base if you're staying in the area for a few days. You're only a short drive from places like Burford, and Oxford is also straightforward to reach. Combining an hour or two in the shop with time wandering Witney's streets and discovering what the town has to offer gives you a genuine feel for this corner of the Cotswolds.
