OP While "Windows shopping" online at a site that sells antique and reproduction lighting I read the following description of an antique commercial overhead lamp:
Whether this fixture will conform to current building safety codes we cannot say, but it sure is neat. The glow of light through the green shade is very pretty, as is the scrolled ornamentation on the fixture itself. Perhaps you could just use one as a dimly smaragdine nightlight.
The word smaragdine has been featured on WWFTD in the past so many of you may know it already. Being too dim to get the meaning entirely from context myself I looked it up and it means ... /smah RAG deen/ (1) of or relating to emeralds (2) of an emerald-green color.
Pics of the light for those interested:
