A Destination in Design: Passport Collection Luxor Series
Along the East Bank of the Nile near the ancient city of Thebes sits a sacred temple. At the Temple of Luxor, large crowds of soldiers, dancers, musicians, and high-ranking officials celebrated their belief in the divine conception and birth of their kings.
Magnificent papyrus-shaped columns and statues of the kings filled the temple. Carvings recording the history of the kings and their military victories covered the walls and columns.
This synopsis describes the ancient Egyptian temple city of Luxor – the design inspiration for the Top Knobs Passport Collection Luxor series.
Just as the Temple of Luxor is known for high social status and exceptional luxury, the Luxor Series captures its essence with handsome pulls and regal hardware. Click the image below to see the products in detail.
