WINNER

Benvarden, £38 m, Tara Prints Collection by Osborne & Little

HIGHLY COMMENDED

Madagascar, £31·96 m, Pemberley Collection by Sanderson
Judge's comment: “Sanderson has excelled itself with the Pemberley Collection, particularly in the case of this design which combines exotic motifs with a wonderfully sophisticated palette of colours.”

RUNNERS UP

Porcelaine, £67·50 m, Nobilis Fontan
