Using this beautiful rose lamp is a breeze. First, find a stable and flat surface in your room to place the lamp. Screw in a medium - base bulb with a maximum wattage of 100 into the socket. Then, use the 3 - way switch to adjust the light to your preferred brightness. When it comes to cleaning, gently dust the porcelain roses and the crystal base with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or water on the lamp, as this could damage the antique gold leaf and matte white glaze finishes. If the shade gets dirty, you can spot - clean it with a mild detergent and water, but make sure it's completely dry before putting it back on the lamp. Also, always turn off the lamp and unplug it before cleaning to ensure your safety.
