AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

General, number of beads, origin
This necklace is made up of 39 beads of the 'feather beads' type, sometimes also called 'flower beads'.
They are all old beads, made in Murano near Venice, around 1900 – older than many millefiori beads.

Old, red beads are placed between the beads.

Quality
The quality of the beads is good; it is visible in the photos that some beads are well-worn, which is normal for these beads. So: a bit worn from age, but definitely not damaged!

Weight and height
Chain: 80 grams; length of the chain: 50 cm.
The beads measure approximately 11 x 11 mm on average (they are not all the same size).

Aankoopland

Minimum price

PHOTO: We have added a photo from the standard book on trade beads by Augusto Panini. These beads are also depicted in it.

Shipping
The necklace is well packaged and insured, sent via Post NL, with the usual Track & Trace service.
