It looks to me a bit more like cloth than paper, but either way, you can see the design wraps around the edges of the book, so the design is on whatever the wrapped their cover boards in. I can't tall you whether this was custom made or commercially bought, but it wouldn't be too hard to make something similar yourself:

Lay out your cover material, including length to wrap around the boards.
Stripe adhesive for gold foiling.
cover the whole material in gold leaf This looks like rose gold leaf to me.
brush away the excess leaf with a dry paintbrush

Alternatively, you could just get paint in the metallic color you like and stripe it on yourself. These lines don't look perfectly uniform, so i wouldn't be surprised if someone just took 15 minutes to paint it all on by hand with a paintbrush.
