I don't think your sink was intended to be a console, but I suspect that with the right legs, it could be made to work like one. In general, I think a good portion of the weight of most console sinks is designed to be held from the wall using a cleat of some type. So I'd check the part of the sink that goes against the wall to see if there's any support structure there. If not - or potentially, even if there is - it could be your best route is to go custom. You seem to be aware of the high price of console legs (Yikes! I'm in the wrong business!) If you were willing to consider wood (I've seen some lovely ones) or black-painted metal, I'm betting you could have a frame and legs made for less than most metal sets. With regard to period-appropriateness -- I'm thinking that most consoles were before the 1950's.

Todds - I LOVE my pullout pantry - it is extremely efficient use of space - not one wasted inch and it's only 10" wide. I'd happily line up 2 or more to make good use of space. It's accessible from both sides so you could make it twice as wide and it would still be just as efficient. Wider than that and you'd start to lose stuff in the middle. Keep in mind it's 30" deep (we have 30" deep countertops and the whole wall lines up) so there is a TON of storage in there. The water chiller is an Everpure, I don't recall which model and under the sink is so tight I couldn't get in there to find out even if I wanted to. I bought the entire system from Cleanwatersystems.com IIRC and GErry was a great help. I did compare brands but my main criteria was how cold the chiller got the water as we gave up ice and water in the door of the fridge. This one was the coldest and I think it is pretty much always in the high 30's/ very low 40's which is cold enough for us. The Hafele magic corner units are very expensive again IIRC we paid about $450 through the cabinet maker for each one. Because of the 30" deep cabinets and the limited space for a door opening, they were the best bet for us. Believe it or not, I have even more stuff stored behind them and back in the corner of the cabinets. The back corner is for stuff I literally use once a year as I have to take out the drawers to get there. In a standard 24" deep cabinet these would be the bees knees. Good luck with your remodel. The best is when it's all done and you find you have a kitchen that not only looks great but is great to work in.

That's where ours is. In fact, the filter for our icemaker is right next to it, and when we remodel, it will stay as is, as we have no plans to finish that area of the basement. It has worked great for us for several years.

"Not on my life would I show you under my sink. I think there are some alien life forms in there and I wouldn't dare leave the cupboard open long enough to take a picture." This is not the first time I've heard such a thing. I think many women would rather you rifle through their underwear drawer than pull out their stove or refrigerator.
