Rare 1984 Louisiana World Exposition China Pavilion Hanging Ornament
Offered is an authentic vintage commemorative hanging ornament that was purchased at the China Pavilion during the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana. This beautiful and uncommon souvenir commemorates the last officially recognized World’s Fair held in the United States.
The ornament features a gold-tone metal medallion with an image of a traditional Chinese junk ship and the inscription:
LOUISIANA WORLD EXPOSITION
MAY 12 – NOV 11, 1984
The medallion is suspended from a traditional red Chinese decorative knot and finished with matching red tassels accented in gold, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity.
This pavilion-specific souvenir is much less common than standard World’s Fair memorabilia and would make an excellent addition to any collection of Louisiana World Exposition, World’s Fair, New Orleans, or Chinese cultural memorabilia.
Approximate Measurements
* Overall Length: 12 inches (top of hanging loop to end of tassel)
* Medallion Diameter: 2 inches
* Medallion Thickness: 1/2 inch
Condition
The ornament is in excellent vintage condition. The gold-tone metal medallion displays beautifully with crisp detail. The original Chinese knot and tassels remain intact with only light age-related wear. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description and accurately represent the item’s condition.
Whether you’re a collector of World’s Fair memorabilia, New Orleans history, or unique international souvenirs, this is a wonderful and increasingly hard-to-find keepsake from the historic 1984 Louisiana World Exposition.
