About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads: Created between the late 1400s and early 1900s, trade beads were manufactured in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries for trade with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans. The peak of trade bead production was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were produced and exported mainly from Venice.
