About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads refer to beads produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries between the late 1400s and early 1900s for trade with Africa and America. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans in North America. The peak period for trade beads was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were produced and exported to Africa. Most of these beads were manufactured in Venice.
