For your consideration is a collection of six strands of early 1900's Venetian glass trade beads. These rare, biconical shaped beads show a lovely floral swirl pattern on light green, green, sunburst orange, orange, indigo blue, and black colored beads. Each strand is strung on cotton. There are 25 black beads, 27 dark green beads, and 26 beads per strand of the other colors. These lovely beads are in good condition overall, with some sign of wear due to age. Each strand measures 15.5" in strung length.
