These antique Venetian beads, crafted in the late 1800s to early 1900s, were originally used in the African trade. Their unique lampwork technique, which involves winding molten glass around a mandrel and adding intricate trail decorations, was perfected in Venice, Italy. The resulting beads were highly prized in African markets, particularly in Ghana, where they played a significant role in local trade and culture.
