About This Project

At this time, the building was not the palace known as The Peninsula but as Majestic Hotel.

Fancelli Paneling individually  removed and numbered each original woodpanel from the former Hotel Majestic  –  more than 1,000 pieces–in total

“Our first task wasto number  everypieceof wood  and label eachone of them with the specific nature  of the damage so that the restorers would know howto treateachpiece,“ 

“We first made a scan and a photo reporting of the existing panels, then, we dismantled  allthe woodpaneling   not actually knowing  whether wewould actually  be able to restore  it, however  everything   wasin a reasonably  good state  after  we removed italland  itwas mainly the  very ornamental   pieces  that had to be re–carved.  

All the panels were packed and sent to a storage waiting for the restoration.
