Monumental polychrome painted and finely carved wooden model - Lot 478
Monumental polychrome painted and finely carved wooden model of a warship based on the "Soleil Royal" model. Early 20th century. Height Height : 155 cm Width : 135 cm Depth : 47 cm Slightly missing. Note : Built in the 17th century, the Soleil Royal was one of the largest and most prestigious warships of its time. Equipped with 104 cannons on three decks, she served as Admiral Tourville's flagship in the French Royal Navy. A symbol of Louis XIV's power, this baroque vessel was distinguished as much by its striking force as by its decorative richness. Its name and ornamentation reflected the king's emblem - the Sun - affirming the grandeur and influence of the French monarchy on the seas.
