How to determine if a lamp is class 1 or 2?

Hello. I bought a ceiling lamp recently that I am planning to install this weekend. The body of the lamp is made from wood and there is a metal chain with a hook on the end that will hold the lamp in place from the ceiling fitting. There is a wooden outer block that will go around the hook for decoration. There is no earth wire within the wiring of the lamp, but the live and neutral wires are inside another insulated tube. The seller hasn't indicated if the lamp is class 1 or 2 (small online store from outside the EU) so I'm not sure if this lamp is safe without an earth wire. Thanks
