PMK Designs, 60 K St, South Boston, MA 02127, US

M-Geough Company represents over twenty five manufacturers of high-end, fine furniture, lighting and accessories, as well as offering European and Asian Antiques. New England based and founded in 1951, we are located in the Boston Design Center and sell to the design trade. Our unique mix features 18th and 19th century reproductions as well as transitional and contemporary furnishings and lighting. Boylston Street was the prestigious center of Boston's design trade when James M-Geough, Sr. opened M-Geough Company in 1951. Since that time, the showroom has served the New England design community by providing the finest European reproduction furnishings as well as antiques, lighting and accessories. "My dad started out on Newbury Street, " Jim M-Geough explains. "It took a few years to get to Boylston Street. In the mid to late '50's, we moved into the Decorative Arts Center, which was situated in the middle of Back Bay. When the Decorative Arts Center moved to the Boston Design Center in 1985, we moved too and have been here ever since." Although the M-Geough family name has been prominent in the design community for over 50 years now, the roots reach even further back to Jim's grandmother, Therese Tozer McGeough. "My grandfather was killed by a drunk driver when my dad was 16, " Jim says, "so my grandmother went to work as an interior designer to support her two sons. Because of the anti-Irish sentiment in Boston at the time, she dropped the letter c' in McGeough and named her business T. A. M-Geough." Jim describes her as an elegant lady, but a working woman who was "tough on everybody." The family still has her diary, which records a year long trip to England, France and Italy, and many of the beautiful things she bought along the way. One piece inspired the "Therese" table in the Collection Reproductions line.
