From The Estate Of Bill Owen (1914-1999) - Last Of The Summer Wine - Bill Owen's production made Cast / 'Director's' chair, as used daily on-set by Owen during filming of the classic BBC sitcom during the late 1990s. Wooden construction, with blue fabric seat and backrest with white 'Bill Owen' text to the rear. It is well documented in on-set photographs and videos that the main cast were issued with chairs of this type, with this one being the final made for Owen before his death in 1999. The chair was then passed to his son Tom Owen (who would appear in the series after Bill's death as his fictional son Tom Simmonite). Tom Owen used this chair in honour of his father during many theatre productions, and there are photographs documenting it's use in many of Tom's personal scrap books (also included within this auction). The chair exists in used but generally very good condition. A unique and special piece of Last Of The Summer Wine history.
