These beads are matching antique Italian/Venetian tube beads from the early 1900's in a design called Tic-Tac-Toe. The Italians are famous for making these beads. This strand is a lovely brick red color with white lines and circles with black eyes in the center. The beads have some chips and a little pitting. This is normal for trade beads due to their age, journey and extensive use. The price is reduced because of the breaks. You get these exact beads.
