I picked this up thinking it was a Shaker Cheese Basket, but then quickly realized it wasn’t. I’m curious though, it looks old, is it an antique of some sorts? Any sort of historical or monetary value?

I think it’s a cool piece either way and have it hung on my wall, but if it is of some value, I’d like to know so that I can treat it as such (as in not get in the mood to stain or paint it some day).

It’s roughly 3 feet across. [img size=499]https://kovels.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/basket.jpg[/img]
