Since 1889

Founded in 1889, McLaughlin is a third generation New England manufacturer of custom upholstered furniture. Each unique piece is handcrafted in accordance with stringent 18th century European craftsmanship techniques mastered by our founder, Hugh McLaughlin.

For clients who expect nothing less than perfection, we specialize in made-to-order upholstered furniture. Chairs, chaises, sofas, ottomans, sectionals, beds, headboards – whichever you choose, your piece is designed to endure as an antique of tomorrow.

Our award-winning artisans are here to make your dreams of impeccable comfort and style a reality. Inspiration may begin with a visit to our Boston showroom or a concept from our online portfolio. Or it may be born with a photograph, a sketch or the snatch of an idea.

Above all, we stand for American quality. From our solid hardwood frames and hand-tied springs, to our natural horsehair padding and custom-stitched fabrics, our commitment to old world craftsmanship continues to receive recognition from the finest publications.

Each one of your heirloom pieces is crafted by hand in our Boston workroom. Primed with a practical knowledge of 18th century upholstery techniques, our craftsmen have become famous for creating New England works of art.
