a sedan chair is a enclosed chair that is borne on two poles by two bearers. The chair carries the occupant, a taxi for one. Usually the luxury of being carried was reserved for members of the nobility. The name comes from the town of Sedan, in France, where they were first used. They appeared in England as early as 1581 and survived into the 1800's. Two man chairs were also available
