About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads refer to beads produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trade with the African and American continents. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans in North America. The peak of trade bead production was from the mid-1800s to early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa, primarily from Venice.
