Clay Sedan Chair

The description for this reads: "The chair is of oak, horsehair and velvet. Only the men carrying it, and you, are clay." Is this implying that the character becomes of the ceramic persuasion once the deal with the Clay Men are made? I am looking into acquiring one but becoming a Clay Man would not suit my character.

It's not implying that you are clay. To see what I mean here's the statement with the commas removed: "Only the men carrying it and you are clay." The commas are trying to set up a barrier to help avoid that implication as it states that the Clay Men are carrying both you and the chair.
Of course, a fun interpretation is that it's a reference to some religious beliefs that people were made from clay.
