Description
- Antique Venetian millefiori (1000 flowers) elbow trade bead
- Rare square cross section elbow bead with early bundled cane pattern in brick red, white, and blue 35x8mm
- The abrasions resulting from overly aggressive, and ineffectual, cleaning methods only show up in the magnified photo. They are not noticeable in real life.
- I would give this bead a gentle bath in dish liquid and warm water, then after it's dry, a massage with a tiny bit of coconut oil. Let it rest on a paper towel for a few days. It will then be very happy and love you for it.
- Made in Venice, Italy early 1800s for the African trade
