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