These antique Venetian trade beads were made in the early 1900s and played a significant role in the African trade, particularly in Ghana. Venetian lampwork, or wound glass, beads were crafted by winding molten glass around a metal rod, creating unique and intricate designs. Their beauty and craftsmanship made them highly sought after in African markets, where they were used as currency and symbols of wealth.
