    Description

    DESCRIPTION:  Three Antique Venetian Lamp Wound Fancy African Trade Beads.  The larger Blue bead is decorated with a white pulled glass, and aventurina gold midline banding.  The two matching smaller beads are black glass, decorated with turquoise blue pulled glass and aventurina gold midline banding.  These would be nice in Jewelry or in a Bead Collection.
    SIZE:  Blue large bead: ~14mm hole to hole (H-H) X 14mm.  Two smaller black beads are both ~10mm H-H X 11mm each,
    CONDITION:  These
    are circulated Antique Trade Beads, and show some surface wear from age, being worn, and Trade Travels.  The surface decorations are largely intact, but there is some loss.  One of the smaller black beads has a hairline crack, appears stable when pulled on (see photos #7,#8,#9).  The bead with the crack has an air bubble nearby, and the other beads have some air bubble holes here and there (normal).
    Please use the photos to help determine condition and appearance, and zoom in as needed.
    PLEASE contact me before paying if you are buying multiple items and I will quote for adjusted combined shipping price.  Thanks!
    I have been buying Antique Trade Beads for almost 50 years, and had a Wholesale and Retail Bead Store, Folk Art, and Tribal Art Store in Greensboro, NC for some 25 years (Lost and Found Gallery), and am now semi-retired.  We are just beginning to sell on eBay.  Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about the beads.
