The interior is lined throughout with a dark-blue cloth, in colour and texture similar to that used at the present day for the same purpose.
A fairly reliable inventory of things found in the carriage on the night it was captured has been handed down to us, and the following is a copy:
A beautifully constructed and marvellously well-appointed nécessaire, comprising some seventy pieces, a few in solid gold and many mounted in the same metal (a present from Marie Louise to Napoleon on the eve of his departure for the Russian campaign of 1812, and designed and carried out under her immediate supervision).
Several parts of a solid silver service, engraved with the Imperial arms.
A large silver chronometer.
A green velvet cap.
A mahogany liquor case, containing two leather-covered bottles, one filled with rum and the other holding a small quantity of sweet wine.
A pair of spurs.
Two fine merino mattresses.
