Find the Right Antique Hardware with Our AI Image Search

A Smarter Way to Shop for Antique Hardware

At Antique Hardware Company, we understand that finding the right piece of antique hardware can be a challenge—especially when you're trying to match a unique knob, plate, or lock that's been on a door for over a century. That’s why we’ve invested in industry-leading AI technology to make it easier than ever for you to locate what you need—quickly, accurately, and with confidence.

 

How Our AI Image Search Works

Built with advanced visual recognition technology, our AI system scans and analyzes the details of any hardware image you upload—shape, style, material, pattern—and returns the closest visual matches from our extensive inventory. Whether you're an architect looking to match a missing plate, a designer sourcing a period-correct knob, or a homeowner mid-restoration, our AI image search delivers relevant results within seconds.

You can upload:

  • A photo of a piece you already own
  • A screenshot from a project
  • A historic reference image
  • Even a quick snap from your phone

Our AI will do the rest.

Where to Access Image Search

Finding our image search tool is simple:

  • Right side of every page: Look for the camera icon with a plus sign—it opens the upload tool.
  • Top of every page: The same camera icon appears near the search bar.

  • Search toolbar: When you click the magnifying glass, the image search icon will appear here too.

Just click the icon, upload your image, and within seconds you’ll see the best matches from our catalog.


Once you’ve found the right piece, simply add it to your cart and check out using one of our many secure payment options.



Visual Match Tool on Product Pages

Want to find something similar to an item you're already viewing?
On all product and search results pages, there’s a small search icon in the top right corner of each product listing. Click it, and our system will show you other items that are visually similar—perfect for building out matching sets or finding complementary pieces for your project.

Why It Matters for Designers, Architects, and Restoration Professionals

Time is valuable—and so is accuracy. Our AI search tool helps:

  • Interior designers match period-correct hardware for high-end homes
  • Architects source cohesive hardware sets across rooms and buildings
  • Contractors identify replacements fast without endless browsing
  • Homeowners find what they need without knowing the terminology

This is not a generic image search. It’s built specifically for antique and vintage hardware, using a database trained on thousands of real items from our own collection.
