Zippo “Gemini” Zodiac Lighter – Marqueterie de Bois Précieux – French Artisan Series – 2002 Bradford Body Offered is a genuine Zippo windproof lighter with bottom stamp “02”, indicating a 2002 Bradford (USA) production, later finished in France as part of a “Marqueterie de bois précieux – Zodiaque” artisan series. The case is clad on both sides with stabilized precious‑wood marquetry, sealed under a clear resin layer that brings out the deep grain and chatoyance of the wood. The front is decorated with a high‑relief Gemini (Gémeaux) zodiac emblem, giving the piece strong visual presence and a distinctly French decorative style. According to the original French leaflet included (“Marqueterie de bois précieux”), the makers use selected exotic woods combined with resin to create durable, contemporary inlays inspired by traditional marquetry techniques. This lighter is unused, in near‑perfect cosmetic condition, and comes with its original Zippo box plus the French marquetry description sheet, making it a particularly complete example. As far as can be determined, this is not a standard Zippo catalog design, but a limited French aftermarket/atelier creation based on an authentic Zippo insert and case, and examples from this marquetry zodiac series appear only rarely on the market. A refined and unusual Zippo, ideal for collectors of zodiac‑themed lighters, French custom/aftermarket pieces, or early‑2000s special designs. Please note: The photos form an integral part of the description and are decisive for judging the exact condition and finish of the lighter.
