Using your Les Feuilles lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable surface for it, like a bedside table or a living - room side table. Screw in a medium - base bulb with a maximum wattage of 100 watts. You can use the 3 - way switch to adjust the light to your preferred brightness. When it comes to cleaning, gently dust the iron leaves and crystal column with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the antique gold leaf finish. For the linen shade, if it gets dirty, you can use a lint roller to remove dust and small debris. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its beauty and functionality. If you need to move the lamp, be careful as it weighs 15.40 pounds, and the shade has a separate weight of 4.00 pounds. Enjoy the warm and elegant glow this lamp brings to your space!
