Based in Waterville, Ohio, Jim & Toni Stoma are the heart of Latcham House Antiques. Latcham House does not have an open shop; Jim & Toni are mainly show-based dealers.

Jim’s past career as a tool and die maker and owner of a small tool and die shop has given him the business savvy and the skills to view objects in a very precise and detailed manner. Coursework toward a degree in art history through George Washington University in Washington, DC, supplements his 40+ years as a collector and dealer in antiques. He is also certified as a personal property appraiser in fine and decorative arts.

Toni has collected for over 30 years and been part of the business for much of that time. Her past work experience as a pension administrator brings financial and computer skills to the partnership. Her collecting interests have also led her to trying her hand at hooked rug restoration to better understand the techniques and materials involved.
