The choir stalls, the seats reserved for the clergy, have particularly fine carvings, particularly on the [[misericord]], the small seat on each stall on which the clergy could rest when standing for long periods of time. The stalls were made in the 16th century, and were originally located in the high chapel of the [[Chateau de Gaillon]] in the [[Eure]] Department. In 1805 Napoleon Bonaparte decided to create three new chapels at Saint-Denis, as well as a chapter of bishops under the authority of his uncle, [[Cardinal Fesch]]. The stalls were moved to Saint-Denis and installed for their use. Besides the carved wood, the stalls are decorated with elaborate multi-coloured religious scenes in [[marquetry]].{{Sfn|Plagnieux|1998|p=18}}

The organ is located on the tribune, at the west of the nave. An organ is recorded as existing at the basilica in 1520. A later organ, made by Crespin Carlier, is recorded in 1520, but this instrument was destroyed during the French Revolution. The church re-opened in 1806 without an organ.  A competition was held in 1833 to find a new builder.  It was won by [[Aristide Cavaillé-Coll]], age twenty-three, and was his first organ. It was completed in 1843, and launched his career as an organ-maker.<ref name=base>{{Base Palissy|PM93000477}}</ref>

It contains numerous innovations introduced in the romantic area, in particular the very first [[Barker lever]]. With three [[Manual (music)|manuals]] and [[Pedal keyboard|pedals]], it is protected by the {{Lang|fr|[[Monument historique]]}} label. It was restored in 1901 by Charles Mutin, and between 1983 and 1987 by Jean-Loup Boisseau and Bertrand Cattiaux. [[Pierre Pincemaille]], sole titular organist for 30 years (between 1987 and 2018), held many recitals (between 1989 and 1995, then between 2014 and 2017), and recorded eight CDs using this instrument.<ref name=base/>

===Treasury===
{{Main|Treasury of Saint-Denis}}

The cathedral contained an extensive treasury, mainly constituted by the [[Abbot Suger]]. It contained crowns (those of [[Charlemagne]], [[Louis IX of France|Saint Louis]], and [[Henry IV of France]]), a cross, and liturgical objects.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}
