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, slaves, and furs. The peak period of trade beads was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were produced and exported to Africa, with the majority being manufactured in Venice.
