Blue Tile Trade Beads
$35.00
Hand-carved glass beads from the early 1900s, strung on heavy-spun cotton cord. Once traded across Africa and the Americas, they were crafted in European workshops—Venice, Bohemia, Germany, and beyond—during the height of the trade bead era. Worn and faded with time, each subtle abrasion and imperfection whispers of the journeys they’ve taken and the many hands they’ve passed through. A rare and tactile connection to a global history, now ready to be part of yours.
