<P> In architecture a corbel is a structural piece of stone, wood or metal jutting from a wall to carry a superincumbent weight, a type of bracket . A corbel is a solid piece of material in the wall, whereas a console is a piece applied to the structure . A piece of timber projecting in the same way was called a "tassel" or a "bragger" in the UK . The technique of corbelling, where rows of corbels deeply keyed inside a wall support a projecting wall or parapet, has been used since Neolithic, or New Stone Age, times . It is common in Medieval architecture and in the Scottish baronial style as well as in the vocabulary of classical architecture, such as the modillions of a Corinthian cornice, Hindu temple architecture and in ancient Chinese architecture . </P> <P> A console is more specifically an "S" - shaped scroll bracket in the classical tradition, with the upper or inner part larger than the lower (as in the first illustration) or outer . Keystones are also often in the form of consoles . Whereas "corbel" is rarely used outside architecture, "console" is widely used for furniture, as in console table, and other decorative arts where the motif appears . </P>
