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