What is this antique light used for?

I am an interior designer who has a client who can't identify the use of antique lamp she owns. It is old and a combination of iron and glass and is electric. It is about 36 inches tall. All this is in one peice. It has a 12"x12" platform on the top of emerald green glass which is uplighted from a torchere type lamp underneath. I would say it was a plant stand or display table of some kind. Her 83 year old mother insists that it is a piano light. This client has a very extensive and valuable antique collection of furnishings, accessories, paintings, fabulous vintage clothing, silver, linen, cars, etc. that was inheirited from her family members. So it is no telling what this thing is. Please help me!!!

Reply:I do some selling on eBay, and whatever folks opinion of eBay is, their bulletin board system is fantastic! It's all users asking each other questions just like yours and many of these people are very knowledgeable. Everyone is friendly too. You will probably get a pinpoint answer, I always do when I ask for advice.
