If there was ever to be a person -- so knowledgeable in art and antiques, and who so passionately put collectors' interests at the forefront of his work, it would have to be Jim Langley. The museum-grade collection built (with his "eye") for our family archives has his name written all over it. Langley was the finest of an era within the cultural hub that is Columbus, OH, and someone who, quintessentially, practiced (and lived!) the "fine art" of Antiques & Fine Art.

How we cherish the antiques and art we purchased over the years from Jim and all the knowledge he shared with us. We also appreciated what a good business neighbor Jim was over the years along with Rita. Extending our sincere sympathy. Roger Pettry and Sharon Weiss
