Product Details
This extraordinary 40" strand features approximately 65 matching spherical Venetian millefiori trade beads—an exceptionally rare find, both for their uniform round shape and consistent pattern. Handmade in Venice in the late 19th to early 20th century using the ancient mosaic glass technique, these vibrant beads were part of the storied African trade routes, where they were highly prized as currency and symbols of prestige. Measuring 13–14mm wide by 14–16mm in diameter, the beads are in very good antique condition, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of their era. Matching strands like this are extremely uncommon, making them a treasure for serious collectors and connoisseurs of antique glass beads.
