About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads refer to beads produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trade with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for goods such as gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and fur in North America. The peak of trade bead production was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were manufactured and exported primarily to Africa.
