Description from the seller

Model ship – Le Furieux

This fine model ship is Le Furieux, a powerful frigate of the French Navy from the late 17th century, built and deployed during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King. In this period France rose to a dominant seapower, with ships like Le Furieux playing a key role in fleet actions and strategic sea battles.

Le Furieux was known for its sturdy construction, impressive armament, and balanced design—typical of the French shipbuilding school, which was praised for its combination of speed, firepower and elegance. This model reflects those qualities with a powerful hull, authentic proportions and a stately appearance that immediately recalls the great war fleets of the 17th century.

A particular collectible for enthusiasts of maritime history, French ships of the line and high-quality model making. Ideal as a showpiece in a serious collection or as a historical statement piece with clear museum appeal.

Due to size and fragility the item must be picked up in Weert - the Netherlands.
