In 2002, the carved wood details in the sacristy interior, the 18th-century gilding, and the vaulted stone ceiling were in poor condition. Dust and soot from candles and incense had created deposits on the walls, obscuring religious decorative detail of the wood paneling. WMF managed the restoration of the interior ornamentation of the sacristy, which was carried out between 2002 and 2005. The wooden walls, stone ceiling, and iron balcony were cleaned and treated. In places where the gilding had deteriorated, new gold leaf was applied and covered with a patina. The restoration of the sacristy was part of a larger conservation plan for the entirety of Saint-Sulpice that was organized by the Parisian authorities.
