About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads: Trade beads refer to beads made in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trade with the African and American continents. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa and fur with Native Americans in North America. The peak of trade bead production was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa. Most of these beads were produced in Venice.
