Story

Established in the Village of Grosse Pointe in 1990. We have celebrated 25 years as premier custom picture framers. In 2002 we relocated to a larger and more efficient facility. We now have the capability to warehouse and chop our own moulding, keep larger inventories of mats, glass and mirrors and offer computerized mat cutting. We offer over 4,000 moulding choices and 2,500 mat finishes. We are able to provide quick response to our clients specifications and deadlines.

In addition to our substantial retail business we have been working with design professionals for over 25 years - and we are proud to say that Posterity was chosen as the First Custom Framing Design Company to be featured in the Detroit Junior League Designer Showhouse of 2000.

Charlene Blondy, the Owner of Posterity earned the coveted designation of nationally Certified Picture Framer (CPF) by the Professional Picture Framers Association in 2001. Greg Webster, our Head Framer also won this designation in November, 2004. Charlene currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Great Lakes Chapter of the PPFA and is the Judge for National Framing Competitions. Charlene is the proud 2010 Design House Designer for the fourth time!

In April, 2003 Posterity was recognized as one of the Twenty-Five Senior Friendly businesses in the Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods. We are very active in the Community at large, providing services and merchandise to over 40 organizations annually. One of our major ongoing services is providing the venue and personnel for ticket sales for musical and theatrical events for the Grosse Pointe Schools Board of Education.

We provide all styles of Custom Framing - from Contemporary Casual to Museum Traditional. We Specialize in framing objects, keepsakes, and needleart. We have over 100 choices of picture lights and our custom crafted beveled mirrors are available in multiple shapes and finishes. Our specialty mat cutting capabilities are greatly enhanced by the computerized Wizard system. We are well known for our expertise in Conservation Framing. We are consistently working with our clients to being their framing treatments up to the exacting standards for longevity in this world of contaminants and light damage. We provide industry recommended reframing, reglassing and rematting services on previously framed pieces. All of our custom framing is done in house and it is a matter of great security to clients to know that their precious works do not leave our location - and are only handled by our people.

We also carry unique gift and glass items such as Pewabic Pottery, Avery puzzles and prints.

Our Gallery hours are Tuesday - Friday 10 am - 6 pm and Saturday 10 am - 4 pm. Evening hours are available by appointment. There is a Design Associate available at all times and we are available for home and office consultation.
