The Prince and Princess of Wales marked their daughter Charlotte's birthday this week by sharing her photo with the world on their Instagram account.
As lovely as the 8-year-old Princess looks, we confess that we were somewhat distracted by the chair she is sitting on: a white wicker seat in a style that's been a fixture on American porches for decades. This sturdy but stylish weave is used to create indoor and outdoor furniture for millennia – in fact, it's said to be the oldest furniture making method in history, at least 5,000 years old.
