The sealskin on the lamp is kept straight and glossy with light steaming from a steam iron set at temperature 2 and steamed with a minimum 40 cm distance from the lampshade. Be aware not to melt the fur when steaming and keep distance to the lampshade!
Sealskin will get patina over time, especially the natural colored will change shade like natural leather on a furniture – a quality tanned sealskin from Great Greenland can live a lifetime.
