The Trianon model collection is a set of high-quality ship models ordered by Napoléon for documentary purposes.
History
In July 1810 Denis Decrès ordered 13 models to be constructed specially for the collection, while others, already built, were gathered. The models were built to a luxurious standard, with precious woods such as ebony and ivory used for the sculptures.
