Bouvines served as a flagship for the entirety of her active service where she served both in the Northern Squadron and Channel Flotilla in the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel as well as in the Mediterranean Squadron. She was stricken on 1 July 1913 and was used by the Inspection Service at Cherbourg between 1914 and 1917. She was condemned in 1918 and sold for scrapping in 1920.

Little is known of Amiral Tréhouart's career other than she served as a submarine tender during World War I.

The Bouvines class consisted of a pair of ironclad coastal-defense ships built for the French Navy (Marine Navale) in the 1890s, Bouvines and Amiral Tréhouart. Thoroughly obsolete by World War I, the ships only played a minor role during the war. They were sold for scrap in 1920.

The model was built on a scale of 1: 250 in exact accordance with the original.

The model is sold with a display case.

The packaging for the model is durable, solid, for shipping art objects.
