French lady entering a sedan chair.

The sedan chair, used by the upper classes during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was carried by two "chairmen." It had side windows, a hinged door at the front, and a roof that opened to allow the occupant to stand. It took its name from the town of Sedan, France.

This engraving, made in Paris in 1777, shows the elegant costumes worn by the nobility and their servants.
