Pseudo-Mid-Century Lamp

The Mid-Century Look is making a major come back, in a Pseudo sort of way.
I came across this Lamp today, which serves as a perfect example of this Look.
By the way, the prefix pseudo (from Greek ψευδής "lying, false") is used to mark something as false, fraudulent, or pretending to be something it is not.
I also wondered how you go about cleaning this lamp.

I like the cool-to-warm tones - and it's certainly not pseudo-circular. Funky :o)

Great subject and shot, but would not like to have to clean it, sure.

My Mum would have labelled it a 'dust-collector' and it would have been banished! However, it makes a great subject!

You just need a Pseudo-Vacuum-Cleaner and you can clean it :)
