About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads were 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 gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans in North America. The peak of Trade Beads production occurred from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were manufactured and exported to Africa. Most of these beads were made in Venice.
