I would guess that there are not many of these 1936 fixtures around today.
I never thought of Mercury vapor lighting as "restful".
But this is the claim from GE.

I can now see where the 1940 Fleur-o-Ray fluorescent fixture design came from.

The 1940 Mitchell Fleur-o-Ray fluorescent fixture I have looks some what similar to the above fixture in design.

The 1936 mercury vapor bulb.

A little fluorescent history.
Where would the fluorescent lamp be now without the mercury vapor lamp first?

Wood chip reflectors for fluorescent fixtures?
YES
I don't think these fixtures were fire proof.
I would say the picture implies that the reflectors were light weight.
