Jenny Lind was also the brunt of a whole line of furniture and interior
(usually parlor, childrens, and bedroom) decorative arts.  The furniture,
from beds to wash stands and cabinets is characterised by turned
multi-spindled or multi-spooled legs, stiles, and corners.  Why she is
connected with this style I don't know, but it was very popular and very
short lived, although some companies did keep producing it long after she
disapeared from the American scene.  Today it is mostly found in baby
furniture.

There's even a style of architecture in West VA called the Jenny Lind House
