Using this St Michael 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, and switch it on to enjoy the warm and cozy light. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the ceramic body and the brass parts. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the antique finish. For the linen shade, you can use a soft brush to remove dust. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its color and quality over time.
