About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads are 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 among Native Americans. The peak production of trade beads occurred from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were produced and exported to Africa. Most of these beads were manufactured in Venice.
