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