A bracket normally refers to a right angle fixing device made from metal, wood or stone but may also be used to refer to various items of ironmongery or fixing devices such as flat metal for connecting two separate items or device for hanging.

Traditionally stone brackets were used to create an over hang from a wall that could carry the load of a beam, plinth or cornice, they would often be seen in pairs with one at each end of the item being supported. These were relatively short, protruding about half the length of their height or less and so as such were not a cantilivered fixing (also known at the time as a modillion) as such. The word itself may have originated from French braquette and Spanish bragueta, possibly connected to the Germanic braca or broc, which refers to breeches or supports, also paired.

Console brackets might have been found around door openings in Greece, these were only slightly protruding supports for cornices or headers, also known as an ancon, or ancones. Consoles were decorative as well as structural, often with a sculptural scroll-shaped S curve on the underside, also known as a double-ogee, the shape usually ended in spirals (or volutes). The earliest examples of scroll console brackets it is said are found within the Temple of Concord in Rome dating from between 7 BCE and 10 CE.

A console was a traditional type of bracket that was a structural decorative feature, built in and protruding from a wall to act as a suppor and a
