Google image search returns little of what one might expect from "retinue".

Good historical drawing of such a procession:

daijs says "e.g. daimyo procession":
大名行列などで、供の人をそろえること。また、その人々。ともぞろい。


Google does give one article with pic, some traditional daimyo procession(with pic): 関金御幸行列
https://www.into-you.jp/places/4168/

yourei examples (quite a few), often reference daimyo, samurai, processions into castles, etc:
供揃い
https://yourei.jp/供揃い
供揃え
https://yourei.jp/供揃え

This appears to be quite a niche term.


ひな祭り
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/雛祭り
Dolls of heian period court ladies
三人官女以下の随臣、従者人形を「供揃い」という。現代日本では男雛を右(向かって左)に配置する家庭が多く[注 7][注 8]、結婚式の新郎新婦もそれに倣っているが、人形の配置の仕方は下記のとおり近代前後で変化があり、それが現在も地域差として残っている。

The title of "Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée" by Guillaume Apollinaire
is translated with this term, and produces most of the image results (the cover of the text):
動物詩集 又はオルフェ様の供揃い ギョーム・アポリネール
  Comments:
供揃え has an identical meaning, and identical popularity in yourei texts if someone wants to add it. 

Hard to prove a negative, but I'm going to go out on a limb and call this [hist] and not [rare] or [form].  There are weird cases of 供揃い/供揃え on twitter, but outside of actual historical references, they seem unrelated to this entry (they aren't retinues of people accompanying an important figure).

The term is used (in any spelling) on wikipedia 8 times, all are historical(plus the book of poetry by Appolinaire).
