We’ve got loads of doors, and many of them are layered with different types of paint. We don’t strip here, but we know where to go, if you want to start fresh and not have to deal with all the paint yourself!
Come see us Tuesday-Saturday 9-5 in Mechanicsville!

She is a beaut! This is one of our gorgeous bronzes, and it’s ready to bring the wow to whatever space it graces. Come see us in Mechanicsville to check it out in person, or visit us online at governorantiques.com or antiqueiron.com!
Yes, we can deliver within 100 miles or have shipped even further but neither are free. (Sorry- she is HEAVY)

Yes, it seems like we are always moving stuff around, but with so many items, we are always trying to showcase them better so they are easier for you to see, shop, measure and visualize.
If you’re wandering the yard at Governor’s, and you see something that you think you like, but you can’t quite tell, always ask. If it’s not easily visible, we can always get a peace out for you to see, and most of the time we already know how much there is, and the details about it!

What better way to accent your outdoor space than with bronze? We have some great statuary and fountains in store- check them out online or come see us in Mechanicsville!

Another one for the “they don’t make ‘em like they used to,” file. These columns are pretty amazing. Solid wood, great condition, fabulous detail. Should we strip them or leave them as is?
If you want them and want to strip them yourself, act fast! They are not even online yet, so give us a call or come see us in Mechanicsville!

Iron like this is not just for the outside! Whatever you imagine, we can probably help you imagine and create. Check out our inventory online, give us a call, or come see us in Mechanicsville Tuesday-Saturday 9-5.

Oh yeah – this is a good one.
We have a lot of tubs. I mean a LOT of tubs. But we don’t get very many like this. In fact, we can probably count on one hand the number of tubs this good and this unique come through our doors.
It will be online today or of course, come see us in Mechanicsville Tuesday through Saturday from 9 to 5!

A little out of our usual inventory, but we always say, “you never know what you’ll find” here at Governor’s.
Loads, and I mean LOADS, of Hot Wheels and NASCAR collectibles!
Come see us Tuesday-Saturday 9-5!

Funny how sometimes the most rare thing is something that doesn’t seem that rare. 4 foot tall fencing for a home (well, it’s from a home-you can use it wherever you want, obviously). But it’s not stockade or heavy duty industrial looking, which is much more common with the taller fencing.
Online today, so come see us in person at Governor’s in Mechanicsville, Tuesday through Saturday, 9 to 5, or anytime online!
