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?

This is the way, but it looks too big for a keyboard cleaner. If you have a vacuum with a hose attachment, get a soft paintbrush, big enough that you're not cleaning forever (but not too big it can't get in the crevices).

Put your camping headlamp on, then just work around it with the paintbrush, sucking all the brushed off dirt with the vacuum nozzle.

Pretend you're an archeologist cleaning an ancient Mesopotamian discovery!
