About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads were crafted in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trade with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves with Africa, and for furs with Native Americans. The peak of trade bead production was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa, the majority of which were made in Venice.
