Using this lamp is easy. Just plug the original European electrical cord into a suitable socket, and turn on the switch to enjoy the warm glow. When moving the lamp, be careful not to bump it to avoid damage to the delicate terracotta body and lampshade. To clean the lamp, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the terracotta body. For the lampshade, you can use a vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting to remove dust. If there are stubborn stains on the lampshade, consult a professional cleaner to avoid discoloration or damage. Keep the lamp away from moisture to prevent rusting of the metal parts and damage to the electrical components.
