Description from the seller
Exceptional historical model – Le Mirage
This impressive ship model presents Le Mirage, a first-class flagship of the French Navy from the glory days of Louis XIV, the Sun King. The original warship was armed with no fewer than 84 cannons and represented the absolute top of the French navy in the 17th century.
Le Mirage stood as a symbol of power, prestige and maritime superiority in a period when France expanded its fleet to become one of the strongest in Europe. This model brings that history to life with an imposing appearance, rich detailing and an authentic lines plan that is characteristic of the great ships-of-the-line from this period.
A special collectible for enthusiasts of maritime history, French shipbuilding or museum-worthy model making. A rare opportunity to add a tangible reminder of the Louis XIV era to a serious collection.
Due to size and fragility the item will need to be picked up in Weert - Netherlands.
