I'm happy to oblige Thomas - here is my "collector's strand" of Venetians and a few Islamic-era beads. Recently the older round feather/arcade/festoon patterned Venetians were described to me as "made to imitate the Islamic era beads". That may or may not be the case, but these larger beads are hard to find in any condition, making collecting them a true treasure hunt!

Happy Sunday to all BCN forumites!
