Hagop Kapoudjian was one of the founding masters of the Koum Kapi school and his weavings are among the rarest and most sort after of all Koum Kapi carpets. A very similar rug, with a different central medallion, is published in George F. Farrow, Hagop Kapoudjian: The First and Greatest Master of the Kum Kapi School, London, 1993, pl.31, p.59. The design is closely related to a Safavid carpet from the collection of the Musée du Louvre, illustrated in F.R. Martin, A History of Oriental Carpets before 1800, Vienna, 1908, fig.157, p.65. For another Hagop weaving in the sale please see lot 23.
