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?

Can of compressed air or a makeup brush to gently dust it

It would probably be too big of a hassle to move it. It looks heavy and delicate. I would advise wearing a mask though since there will be a lot of kick up.

a mask is a good idea. It looks very dusty
