About 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 Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans. The trade beads reached their peak production from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads exported to Africa, primarily produced in Venice.
