Using your Augusta Lamp is easy. Just place it on a flat and stable surface like a side table or a nightstand. Plug it into a power outlet, switch it on, and enjoy the warm and inviting light. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent damage to the ceramic and the linen shade. If the lamp gets dirty, gently dust the ceramic body with a soft, dry cloth. For the linen shade, you can use a vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on either the lamp body or the shade. Also, make sure to replace the light bulb with the appropriate wattage when it burns out to keep your lamp shining bright.
