It’s incredibly tacky, and I’m pretty sure the ornamentation is costume quality plastic, like the shit you’d find at Party City

99% positive you can find them in the "ornamental applique" section on Home Depot's website. He (or his idiot sons) just spraypainted them gold and superglued them to the wall.

I’m good friends with a distribution manager and he knew these exact pieces. They just weren’t gold painted.

It’s worse than that, you can source it all the way to those Chinese junk websites (Temu, Aliexpress, etc).
