Antique Indian Wound And Bohemian Garnet Glass Necklace Afghan Trade Beads
Antique Bohemian glass necklace dating to circa 1880–1910 likely later re-strung in Central Asia using Indo-Pacific trade beads.
The necklace features original Czech garnet-color faceted glass beads and stamped brass festoon connectors with crown prong settings typical of late Victorian Bohemian export jewelry
This type of cross-cultural assembly is well documented in trade bead history, where Bohemian jewelry was reworked by Afghan and Persian jewelers using locally available trade beads.
The result is a historically fascinating example of Silk Road trade jewelry combining Czech Victorian glasswork with early Indo-Pacific trade beads.
Original patina remains on the brass connectors. Beads show age-appropriate surface wear and micro-pitting consistent with over a century of use. The piece has not been cleaned or restrung, preserving its authenticity and collector value.
