Antique/Vintage Venetian Millefiori African Trade Beads Beaded Necklace

Description

This is an antique/vintage Venetian Millefiori beaded necklace featuring one of the oldest Venetian African Trade Bead murina, a 5-point yellow star over terra cotta ringed with white on blue "pillows."  The majority of the millefiori beads (13 of them) measure12 mm with the two smallest coming in at 6 mm. The drawn glass tubular beads (14 of them) are 12 mm in length. This necklace is an example of a cottage trade bead maker using trade beads for jewelry by adding the drawn beads and hand wiring the necklace. When brand new the brass wire would have been brighter adding to the design of the necklace. I don't see any damage to the beads. Please study the pictures carefully to see the variation in color and size. Please email me if you have any questions.
