Classic DaVinci Baby Crib Pays Tribute to Jenny Lind, The Swedish Nightingale

Here's a bit of trivia for all of you history buffs out there.  America's first female celebrity, Jenny Lind also known as The Swedish Nightingale, toured America with her powerful and angelic opera voice in 1850.  Undoubtedly the most highly regarded female singer of the 19^th Century, she was heavily promoted by marketing genius P.T. Barnum of Barnum and Bailey's Circus, and quickly became a household name in America.

Jenny Lind regarded her "artistic powers as a gift from Heaven", however, her true calling was to accumulate as much money as possible for chosen charities. Her success gave her the ability to donate large sums of money to hospitals, orphanages, and many other charities, including her most sought after mission of opening free schools in her native country in Sweden. Her tour in America alone consisted of 93 concerts, earning her $350,000 that was donated to charities. And so became the creation of "Lind Mania". Jenny Lind became a symbol of honesty and virtue. Soon there were chapels, clipper ships, pianos, gloves, tobacco, street names, and even the gold-rush town of Jenny Lind, California.

But one of the most recognized product that is still produced today is the Jenny Lind Bed, also known as spool-turned beds. The design consists of turned slats, or spindles, that resemble a stick of twisted candy. The headboard and footboard have rounded corners with tall posts made of maple, walnut, cherry, mahogany, poplar, cottonwood or pine. Supposedly the name was adopted when the public found out that the famous singer slept on a spool-turned bed throughout her tour in America.
