Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
I’m Ujval Anand, founder and curator.
What began as a personal passion for collecting has grown into The Blue Trunk, a collection of Indian vintage art, ritual objects, masks, wooden carvings and other cultural finds. Over the years, travel and encounters with collectors, families and artisans have shaped the way I discover and curate these pieces.
At our gallery in Aarey, Mumbai, an old blue trunk remains a symbol of the journey that started it all. Through this website, I’m delighted to share these discoveries with collectors and curious minds, wherever they may be.
I invite you to explore the collection and discover something that speaks to you.

This beautiful Tanjore painting features Goddess Saraswati standing and playing the veena, symbolizing wisdom, music, and the arts. The painting is meticulously crafted using 22 ct gold foil, which gives it a luxurious and radiant glow. The use of gold foil accentuates the intricate details and adds a rich, lustrous finish that is characteristic of traditional Tanjore art. Encased in a black wooden frame, this painting is not only a visual delight but also a piece that brings spiritual and cultural enrichment to any space.
Wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, dampness, heat or cold.
