So, just who was Jenny Lind and why is furniture still named after her? Jenny Lind, known as the Swedish Nightingale, was an opera singer who performed in the 1800s. She was so popular in her day, furniture styles and household items were named in her honour. Cottage-style spindled furniture bore her name after she reportedly slept in a bed with turned spindle posts. The name stuck and so has this style of furniture.
We hope you enjoyed this little history lesson and may all your children sleeping in our Alana Bed be lulled to sleep by nightingales…
