The Disotell Gate

A one-off commission for the Disotell family, which is how it got its name. The design can be built again — under its name.

The Disotell Gate in a black finish closed across a gravel drive, its arched rails sweeping up to a peak at the centre under spear-point finials, an oval medallion carrying a script monogram set into each leaf, with a dark board fence and pasture beyond.

An oversized double-leaf entry gate, tall enough to stand roughly twice head height, with a swept arch top rail, forged spear-point finials, knuckled balusters and pyramid studs set into the solid rails.

The Disotell Gate is the largest of the named gates — a scale that changes the engineering as much as the look. Carrying that much steel across a driveway span means the frame and hinge hardware do real structural work, not decorative work.

The arch is cut so the spear-point finials step evenly along the curve, and the pyramid studs in the solid bottom rail echo the same spacing.
