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 often exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for fur in North America. The peak of trade bead production occurred from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being exported to Africa, most of which were made in Venice.
