About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads were 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. During the mid-1800s to early 1900s, Trade Beads reached their peak, with millions of beads produced and exported to Africa, most of which were made in Venice.
