History
McNally & Finlay, trading as Rossmore Furniture, have built a reputation as one of Irelands leading manufacturers of dining room, living room and bedroom furniture. Despite intense competition from manufacturers in low cost economies, Rossmore still has a strong manufacturing base in the shadow of St Macartan’s Cathedral on the outskirts of Monaghan Town.
There is a unique history of collaboration behind the Rossmore brand. In the 1970’s McNally & Finlay teamed up with another local company, Sherry Brothers of Scotstown, and under the guidance of renowned furniture designer, Arthur Edwards, the partnership gradually developed the brand name Rossmore into what it is today.

In an effort to maintain quality and continuity of supply the firm maintain a mix of both outsourcing and in house manufacturing. “It’s about finding a level that you can compete on and yet maintain quality and reliability.” says Managing Director Dermot McNally.
Most consumers will identify the company as the manufacturers of fine traditional collections, most notably Mahogany, Teak and Cherry but styles and trends move and change and the firm has broadened its appeal. New ranges have sleek lines and minimalist designs, appealing more to a new generation. Oak, maple, walnut and beech have all been cast in new collections.
