The Grand Tour is a reference to a time when wealthy Americans and Europeans traveled around the world on vacation . This was usually done between the late 19thC and the mid 20thC colonial period in Western history .

During the late 19thC there was a great interest in 'Orientalism' in both countries .

Your dagger could have come from or been mfr'd in any number of Islamic countries .
The theme IMO is mainly Persian (Iran) though .
