A Mixed Strand of Tabular and Other Venetian Millefiori African Trade Beads M00713B
A small strand of rare tabular and other millefiori beads from the African trade dating from the mid to late 1800s to early 1900s.
There are 9 tabular beads, yellow with mostly green murrini inserts, over what is frequently referred to as "crumb" or "end of day" background. These are strung with small oval millefiori beads.
The tabular beads are about 22x27mm, the smaller oval beads are about 14x9mm.
Weights and sizes are approximate.
These beads are in good to excellent antique condition; they have traveled far and wide, and some wear such as nicks, scratches, and chips is expected. Three of the tabular beads have minor chips. Please examine the photos for details.
IMPORTANT NOTE. In the world of beads, and especially ancient and antique beads, errors in identification are common.

COLORS: Our photos are taken in different lighting in an attempt to show how beads look in different lighting conditions. We make every effort to show colors as accurately as possible. 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.
