About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads were created in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries for trade with Africa and the Americas from the late 1400s to the early 1900s. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans. The production of Trade Beads peaked from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa, predominantly from Venice.
