About Trade Beads:
"Trade Beads" refers to beads manufactured in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries between the late 1400s and the early 1900s for trade purposes with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans. Trade beads reached their peak production from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa, primarily from Venice.
