It's very pretty, but I wonder how they're ever going to clean it when it gets full of dust and cobwebs.

Others also wondered, in comments on the original FB post ;)

The general conclusion, with which I agree, was that it'd have to be some sort of compressed air (would take A LOT of it, though...)

That seems like the only way, because it looks like even the gentlest vacuum would destroy it at first touch. But maybe it's not as fragile or prone to tangling as it appears, and there's a way to take it down for cleaning. Fascinating piece, anyway!
