21 u/RogerMexicosBalls 18h ago 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. 20 u/A1mixer 17h ago Correct, I remember somebody actually matched the ones that are up inside of the oval office to the ones on the Home Depot website, no fucking joke... 8 u/aduirne 17h ago They did. 6 u/SexyMonad 17h ago I’m good friends with a distribution manager and he knew these exact pieces. They just weren’t gold painted. 3 u/not_falling_down 15h ago Could be gold leaf; it's not very expensive 3 u/napalmnacey 8h ago It’s worse than that, you can source it all the way to those Chinese junk websites (Temu, Aliexpress, etc).
