    LOT OF 9 ANTIQUE AFRICAN TRADE MILLEFIORI BEADS
    Venetian Millefiori Mosaic and many other other types of Venetian beads were traded into Africa in the late 1800’s through the early 1900’s.
    This is a lot of old Venetian Millefiori beads that were traded into Africa.  There are three large beads with a similar design.  They measure 37 - 44 mm in length and 13 - 15 in diameter.  In addition, there are six smaller beads.  Three are of similar design to the larger beads.  The other three have complementary patterns for a bit of variation! These smaller beads measure 14 - 17 mm in length and 9 - 11 mm in diameter.  Please see the photo.
    The beads are in very good condition considering their age and long history of wear. One of the larger beads has a small very
    shallow chip near one end, but you really can not notice it unless you rub your finger around the end. I don’t notice any other chips.
    You will receive the beads in the photo.
    The beads will be carefully packed and shipped by USPS First Class Package mail.  EBay
    now offers a variety of payment options.
    The item will be shipped within one business day of receipt of payment. If appropriate I will combine shipping for multiple items sent at one time.  If buying multiple items please add them to your cart and then request that I send an invoice to combine shipping.
    Sorry, I am not able to offer international shipping at this time.
    I want my buyers to be pleased, so I will accept returns for up to fourteen days.  Just email me and we can always work it
    out. Thanks!
