the New York Times Magazine and Esquire, as well as
individuals like Carolyne Roehm. His work included
all aspects of visual presentation, including art direction
and editorial styling, window display, party decoration
and showroom and residential interior design.
     In 1989, Gallagher went to F. Schumacher & Co as
Director of Visual Merchandising for the firm’s premier
brand. In his three years there, he fulfilled the owner’s

mandate to create a consistent and elegant identity for
their nineteen showrooms, and played a key role in
reestablishing the Schumacher brand near the top of the
market. Mission accomplished, in 1993 Gallagher left
to start his own firm.
     Patrick Gallagher Decoratives & Design, Inc. has been
from the start a full service decorating business in the
tradition of London’s Colefax and Fowler. In addition to
comprehensive design services, a singular array of
antiques, and access to the best textiles, wall coverings
and floor coverings, he also offers a collection of furniture,
lamps and decorative objects all designed by Gallagher
himself and produced locally in Connecticut. With able
staff in both locations, Gallagher divides his time between
his two offices. He serves his urban and European
clients from New York City, while looking after his New
England clients, and fabrication sources from his
home base in historic Stonington. |BACK TO BEGINNING|
