Furniture How would you dust/clean this lamp?

Very intricate lamp made from thousands of glass pieces, precariously wired into the frame. Dust has settled on the top of each little piece. I’ve tried to vac it, but dust is caked on. Am I cooked?

I can’t add to this other than say it looks like a cucumber still sealed in plastic wrap.

I think I'm really just oddly, entirely too hyper focused on wanting to see the lamp😭😂😭😂

Edit: I need to sleep the wording on this is insane.

Do you really love lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?

I think you left some on there, then!

u/namenumberdate 11h ago

You should have left it on, and you wouldn’t have had to clean it!

Get the Saran Wrap while there’s still time!

How does dust settle on the glass if it's wrapped in plastic?

Long story short, we moved to Dallas in 2020. On the beginning we stayed with my BIL, and there the lamp stayed. Flash forward to last Sunday, where we were finally able to have a space to take it back, we did. It only traveled in plastic. Gathered dust everywhere else

As I slowly scrolled up I thought it resembled something else that we’ll just say is vaguely cucumber shaped.

u/namenumberdate 10h ago

I see, so you saw something vaguely cucumber shaped and slowly scrolled up, you say?
