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 Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans in North America. From the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, Trade Beads reached their peak, with millions produced and exported to Africa. The majority of these beads were crafted in Venice.
