Description:
An Australian cedar sideboard Circa 1820-30 194 x 137 x 61 cm with 'tray top, supported on six 'quilled on the cann' carved and turned legs. Nsw origin Circa 1820-30 Originally with brass handles. 194 cm wide, 137 cm high, 61 cm deep. Provenance: Purchased by L Oakman in November 1969, removed from Bradbury Park Inn, Campbelltown Nsw. Bradbury Park Inn was built in 1820 by William Bradbury and noted as named by Governor Lachlan Macquarie, in his Journal, during a visit to the district of Airds. In 1826 the licensee of Bradbury's Inn was Michael Byrne. Michael Byrne was born in County Wicklow, near Dublin in 1800, the son of Hugh and Sarah Byrne. Hugh Byrne was convicted without trial and transported to Australia, with his family, in 1802 for treasonous practices in the 1798 Irish Rebellion. Michael Byrne was made an apprentice to Laurence Butler, Irish overseer of the Government Lumber Yards, Sydney. Micheal Byrne went on to own seven pubs in Campbelltown. He was trialled, though found not guilty, of kicking a man to death for non-payment of a debt. Byrne was himself made an insolvent in 1844, after having built Glenalvon the finest stone built house in the town. He had ginger hair, was 5'6' high, with blue eyes. He died in 1878, and is buried in the Irish corner of the Roman Catholic Cemetery, Campbelltown Nsw.
