A strand of 7 Antique Venetian Millefiori African Trade Beads VB_0639
A short strand of 7 Venetian African trade old millefiori beads dating from the mid to late 1800s to early 1900s. The beads are 30-37mm long and 12-14mm in diameter. The hole is about 3mm.
Weights and sizes are approximate.
These beads are in good antique condition, but they have traveled far and wide, and some wear such as nicks, scratches, and chips is expected. It appears the ends may have been ground to give the beads an elongated barrel shape instead of more traditional cylinders. Please examine the photos for details.

The white background photos are taken in daylight conditions. The black background photos are taken in the strong lab light and would be representative of what they would look like in the evening electric light. Some of the photos are backlit to emphasize their translucency. Note that monitor settings strongly affect the way the colors look. What you see on your monitor may differ from what you see with the naked eye depending on your monitor settings.
