dry paint removal on shellacked wood

getting ready to paint in the house I just bought. thankfully none of the woodwork was painted, but there are old spatters and drips that I would like to clean off of it. Probably some of it's oil and some is latex.

The woodwork is shellacked (original, 107 years old) and I don't want to mess up that old finish.

Has anyone successfully removed paint from a shellacked finish without harming the shellack ?
