About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads: Trade beads refer to beads manufactured 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 furs with Native Americans in North America. The peak period for trade beads was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were produced and exported to Africa, with the majority being made in Venice.
