Not overly strong or sturdy, but certainly functional and delivered ready for immediate use. Jenny Lind’s Legs? Johanna Maria Lind (Sweden; 1820–1887) spent many nights in the U.S. during her wildly popular concert tour, presenting an opportunity for furniture makers to claim that P.T. Barnum’s Swedish Nightingale rested in one of their beds. Celebrity endorsements—sanctioned or not—had been found to boost sales, and 19th-century entrepreneurs had little aversion to stretching the truth. By the time she returned to Europe, Jenny Lind’s name or likeness had been affixed to riding hats, cigars, dolls, perfume, and more. Still, the association between spool-turned beds and the name “Jenny Lind” appears to be a 20th-century phenomenon, likely an attempt to conjure a connection to simpler times after the fact. Several bits of folklore connect the opera star with specific beds. The most widespread asserts that Philadelphia furniture manufacturer George J. Henkels placed a special bed—actually, a carved Rococo piece with a side canopy—in Lind’s hotel, and later gave it to her as a gift or, in a divergent ending, vowed to name it after her. A second story centers on a common, early 19th-century mahogany spool bed...

Just the right amount of overhang of the top and a deep apron which makes a wonderful statement. This table is about two inches taller than what is usual for a dining table but with the right chairs feels comfortable. It would be relatively easy to cut 2" off the leg to make it a common dining table height without compromising the look of its great tapered legs or making the apron too deep. We could have that done for you here before shipping. This fabulous table could have been and also can be a console or entry table. Or, make it your kitchen island! We do have a pair of these elegant antique farmhouse tables but only one is pictured. Upon request we will send photos of the second table. It is identical; however it's top has more of a distressed patina. Its finish is definitely more worn but in some ways more beautiful. I'm not sure of their age. Most likely late 1800s-1940s. This table is constructed of pine with a mahogany veneer. Maybe an old store display...
