In My Opinion:This Basket was found in Southeast- Foothills of the Appalachian Mountainsof South CarolinaUpon My Research of Design - I Believe it Originally was Made in The Northeast (Possibly Pennsylvania Area)and Somehow made its way South.Because of Age it is Very Hard to Recognize Type of Wood-But I Tend to Lean Toward Ash Wood.I also Believe this Basket was made in Late 1800's- Early 1900and Was Used as a Floral Basket because of it's Low Sides.Considering where it was found and Length of time in the Rafters- It is an Amazing Old Basket that has been given a Second Chance at Life.
