The Louis XV style or Louis Quinze was a French Rococo style in the decorative arts, and, to a lesser degree, architecture.
Datable to the personal reign of Louis XV (1723–1774), the style was characterised by supreme craftsmanship and the integration of the arts of cabinetmaking, painting, and sculpture.
The Louis Quinze is a 1/36 scale model of a ship of the line of the French Navy, currently on display at the Musée national de la Marine. No actual ship of the French Navy bore the name.
The Louis Quinze represents a 110-gun ship of the line, the strongest type built in France by that time; the only ship built to its specifications was the Royal Louis. The model is lavishly decorated, a feature characteristic of prestige warships of the Louis XIV era. It is believed that the model was built as an educational model for royal princes.
