Today those otherwise indestructible pieces, long derided by the English as "chocolate" (they are Hershey brown), still cost less than glued-and-screwed contemporary furniture-but probably not for long: already a Victorian sleigh bed sells for as much as $30,000.

They built high and strong an image of Santa Claus, the long-dead manic sleigh jockey who had become their symbol.
