This lot features an exquisite collection of antique Venetian chevron glass beads, sizes ranging from 6 to 18 mm (approximately 0.24 to 0.71 inches). Chevron beads, recognized for their multi-layered star or flower patterns, were made using a complex glass caning process that was perfected during the Renaissance. While they have a much older origin, these particular beads likely date from the early to mid-20th century, a period when Venetian glassmakers revived and perfected the art of chevron bead-making for trade. Their vibrant colors and intricate designs make them highly sought after by collectors and jewelry designers. The beads in this collection are a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of Venetian artisans and the global appeal of these miniature works of art.
