Awards & press
Baltimore magazine has named Senneh Knot the best in the city for rugs three times: Best Rugs in 2007, Hand-Woven Rugs in 2015, and Rugs in its 50th anniversary issue in 2025.
2025
In August 2025, in the 50th anniversary edition of its Best of Baltimore issue, Baltimore magazine named Senneh Knot the city’s best for rugs.
The magazine wrote of Zubair Mohamed opening the business nearly 40 years ago, of the staff’s passion, and of a Timonium showroom of thousands of rugs, mostly from Pakistan, India and Nepal as well as Turkey.
“Senneh Knot takes floor-covering very seriously.”
2015
Ten years earlier, the August 2015 Best of Baltimore issue gave Senneh Knot the award for hand-woven rugs.
It praised an enormous selection in virtually any style, a staff who teach the craft of rug-weaving rather than pressure a sale, custom rugs of any kind, and the cleaning and repair.
“Since the company buys directly from overseas weavers, they’re surprisingly reasonable.”
2007
The first: Baltimore magazine’s Best of Baltimore 2007 winner for Best Rugs, signed by the magazine’s publisher, Stephen A. Geppi.
We could not find this one on the magazine’s website, so the framed certificate is the record.
In the community · 1998
Senneh Knot was among the sponsors of the 1998 Race for the Cure in Baltimore, building breast cancer awareness in the Maryland community.
