About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads were crafted from the late 1400s to the early 1900s by artisans in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries for trade with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for fur with Native Americans in North America. The production of Trade Beads peaked from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa, primarily from Venice.
