About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads were manufactured 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. The mid-1800s to early 1900s marked the peak of trade bead production, with millions of beads exported to Africa. Most of these beads were produced in Venice.
