Default Removing paint from old plaster coving - how easy is it?

I have a plaster coving and ceiling rose in my living room. The house
is about 100 years old (built 1890 or so).
I want to restore the decorative coving and ceiling rose.
Has anyone done this, do the commercially available paint peel
systems, ;like Peel away work? They say they take off 20 odd layers of
paint, is this so? OR will I rue the day I started and never get all
the paint off and get a bad back to boot?
If I pay someone it would be way too expensive I have been quoted
about 2000 pounds.
Thanks
