console. Type of Classical bracket or
corbel with parallel sides, usually an
ogee curve terminating in a
volute at the top and bottom surmounted by a horizontal slab, often moulded, fixed upright to a wall with the greater projection at the top. Called
ancon,
crossette, parotis, shoulder, or truss, it is commonly found e.g. on each side of the top of a door-or window-
architrave, supporting the
cornice. In a horizontal position, the curved part downwards and the bigger scroll at the end fixed to a wall, it appears to carry an element, e.g. a
balcony, and thus suggests a
cantilevered form. Horizontal consoles fixed to the
soffits of a building's crowning cornice and appearing to support it are called
modillions. Wedge-shaped (sides not parallel) consoles or
key-stones are called
ancones.
