About Trade Beads:

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