These antique glass trade beads, dating from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, played a significant role in African trade, particularly in Ghana. Handcrafted using the lampwork technique, each bead is meticulously wound and decorated, making them unique treasures from a bygone era.
Venetian lampwork, also known as wound glass, involves melting glass rods over a flame and skillfully winding the molten glass around a mandrel. This age-old technique, perfected in Venice, Italy, produces beads of remarkable detail and durability. These beads were not just decorative items but also held great cultural and economic importance in African trade networks.
