Our History
Metaverse started in 2002 as a technology company, offering an enterprise class web content management software package delivered as a hosted service.
To showcase the features of our content management package, we launched FulcrumGallery.com - a demo site which featured at the
time display only images of the master painters. Through a series of unintended twists of fate, the site grew a life of its own and we re-launched the site in 2004 as an
online store. Sales on Fulcrum Gallery surpassed the fledgling software company we had created and eventually we acknowledged this had outgrown its "side project"
status, officially switching our course to focus on online retail. From the most unlikely of starting places, we built this brand to the second largest online
retailer of art prints and posters in the country, offering over 200,000 art prints which can be custom framed or transferred to canvas.
In 2006 we hatched the idea of competing with ourselves and ArtFilledLiving.com was born. This line of thinking led us to the wholesale market and in 2008
we acquired Lieberman's, the largest wall art distributor and drop shipper in the world, founded in 1977. At around the same
time we made our e-commerce technology available in the form of our turn-key private label program, and partnered with hundreds of brands ranging from as large as Sears,
Kohls, and Macys, to small independent custom frame shops as well as startups looking to enter the wall decor space. The next step was to enable owners of home
decor related domain names to launch micro brands with their domain assets, taking us from several hundred to several thousand web stores under
management.
Through our network of brands, we have shipped over 750,000 customer orders to over 50 countries worldwide. We stock over 1,000,000 products under
our roof for same day shipping, and do all of our custom manufacturing of framed artwork and canvas transfers in house. Our company is headquartered in
South Brunswick, New Jersey. Our team of over 60 employees are dedicated to creating quality shopping experiences for our retail customers, and to
maximizing the value of the web properties we manage for our clients.
