1910s Czech Carnival Glass Seed Beads - 2mm (Size 11/0) Mini Hanks

These rare specimens are authentic artifacts from the pre-war golden age of Bohemian glassmaking. Found as "New Old Stock," these 1910s seed beads feature the sought-after carnival glass finish—a complex, multi-tonal iridescence that provides a depth of color modern glass cannot replicate.

Originally crafted in the Czech region for the high-end European export market, these beads are the essential choice for the historically accurate restoration of Edwardian-era micro-beaded handbags, gala gowns, and museum-grade textile repairs.

Handling and Care for Antique Bohemian Beads
Original Stringing — As these beads are authentic antique inventory, the original cotton or silk stringing is over 100 years old. While preserved in excellent condition, the thread has become delicate with age. We recommend handling the hanks with care and re-stringing them onto modern archival-grade thread for all restoration and wearable projects.

Preservation — To maintain the integrity of the carnival glass finish, store in a pH-neutral environment away from prolonged direct sunlight.
