JAWS 2 (1978) - David Frangioni Collection: US Theatre Entrance Display, 1978 - A truly awesome theatre entrance display for the sequel to Steven Spielberg's blockbuster sensation. This large poster was designed to be a standee that, when cut out and assembled, would sit in an arch over the theatre doorway, so moviegoers had to walk through the mouth of the shark (a whopping 6' 8" tall!) in order to gain entry. Because the assembly of the display requires cutting the paper, many of these pieces have not survived in their original uncut condition making this a brilliant centrepiece for any Jaws collector.Some handling wear and a few large tears (largest being 9 cm) which, relative to the size of the poster, are quite minimal. Some discolouration to the whites in places and very minor paper loss around some edges. Assembly instructions are included in this lot. Dimensions (approx.): 96" x 144" (2.4 x 3.6 m)Condition: Very Fine-Artist: Unknown ArtistAdditional Provenance:David Frangioni is a published author, music businessman, producer, technologist, engineer, philanthropist, and drummer.

A RARE ANATOLIAN JEWISH PRAYER RUG WITH HEBREW INSCRIPTION Western or Central Anatolia, 19th centuryOf rectangular form, handwoven in wool with a mihrab-style central niche in deep madder red, the stepped arch framed by an olive-green field and decorated with a menorah-like stylised candelabrum in pale blue and white, flanked by small floral devices, the spandrels with polychrome eight-petalled rosettes and geometric motifs, the main border with star-like motifs in alternating colours and a cream ground secondary border of floral meander, a Hebrew inscription reading אנכי (“Anochi”, “I am [the Lord]”) woven into the top band in cream wool against a red field, a reference to the Ten Commandments and one of the strongest markers of Jewish use. The design merges Islamic architectural models of the prayer niche with Jewish liturgical iconography, resulting in a syncretic Anatolian textile tradition, likely woven for use in a synagogue or private prayer setting.168.5cm x 126cm This type of rug belongs to a small group of Jewish prayer rugs made in Ottoman Anatolia, often in villages with mixed Muslim and Jewish populations. While following the broader Anatolian design language (notably the mihrab layout typical of Islamic prayer rugs), these works often include uniquely Jewish symbols such as menorahs, Stars of David, or Hebrew script, and were produced either by Jewish artisans or Muslim weavers for Jewish clients. 168.5cm x 126cm Qty: 1
A QAJAR BRASS ASTROLABE WITH FOUR PLATES Possibly Isfahan, Early Qajar Iran, dated 1217 AH (1802 AD)Of typical circular shape, composed of a cast mater surmounted by an elaborately incised cusped arch with rosette scrollwork and a lyrical naskh inscription about daytime on one side, and a pair of birds against vegetal meanders on the reverse, the womb inscribed with the date in Arabic numerals 1217 AH, the instrument fitted with four engraved plates, each marked with stereographic projections for multiple latitudes and city names across Iran and greater Persia; an openwork rete with star pointers as stylised saz leaf scrollwork and arabesque palmettes; an alidade similarly decorated and inscribed; the reverse of the mater bearing trigonometric tables, including solar and shadow tables, and extensive astronomical inscriptions in Arabic, including scientific advice on how to correctly use the astrolabe, retaining the original suspension ring, the craftsmanship, technical accuracy, and date placing this tool within the tradition of Late Safavid and early Qajar scientific instrument making, most notably linked to the cultural centre of Isfahan.16.5cm diameter The long inscription on the reverse of the mater reading: If the letter of the stick (ruler / alidade ?) is placed every day on the point of intersection of the sun's orbit and the arc drawn by the city, then one should reduce the height. It goes on referring to the correct measurements related to the Qibla in Mecca. For further comparables, please see an early Qajar astrolabe made only nine years prior to the present example, dated 1208 AH and signed by Hajji 'Ali in the Royal Museum of Greenwich, London, Inventory No. AST0544; and another Qajar astrolabe sold at Christie's London, 28 October 2020, lot 43. 16.5cm diameter Qty: 10
