Heritage

This ledger from the 50’s reads like a virtual Whos Who snapshot of New York City — from high society, interior design legends to everyday families from the local community. J.Pocker is proud to have kept this tradition of premium service for all to this day.

A NEW YORK INSTITUTION

J. Pocker & Son has spent over 80 years developing a superior reputation for good taste, product knowledge and customer service in picture framing and decorative prints. We are a third-generation, family-owned business. We strive to make relationships with our clients the focus of our business.

Our clients repeatedly visit our shops to seek our advice on selecting period frames for their oils, or in choosing handmade French mats for their watercolors. Clients with more contemporary collections find great selections in polished wood or burnished steel float frames. All of our framing is conservation quality, from our eight-ply mats to our museum-quality conservation glass.

J. Pocker always strives to introduce clients to the framing industry's latest innovations. Allow us to show you around our art gallery, where you will find great selections in every category. We carry botanical prints, classical subjects, tropical and seashell prints, urns and architecture, and so much more. We also have 200 Mark Catesby subjects on display.

Our clients include neighborhood loyalists, the best of the interior design world and the next generation of New York trendsetters. This makes J. Pocker & Son the perfect resource for "The city that never sleeps".
