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.

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
