Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
I’m Ujval Anand, the founder—and I’m so glad you’re here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts; it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s heritage. My journey began in the corporate world, but my heart always belonged to travel, culture, and art. Collecting pieces of history filled me with a joy I couldn’t ignore—and that joy grew into The Blue Trunk.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunk—a symbol of everything we stand for. Today, I’m thrilled to share that same charm with you, wherever you are in India. Through our website, you can now explore and experience the collection anytime, from anywhere.
So, take a wander, discover what speaks to you, and let’s keep the magic alive—together.
With warmth,
Ujval Anand
Founder & Curator
From the collection of Late Nawab Jafar Mir Abdullah, this vintage Khaasdaan from Lucknow is a striking example of Mughal-inspired design. Traditionally used to offer paan to honoured guests (khaas meaning special, daan meaning container), it is crafted in brass with a silver coating and adorned with intricate floral engravings. The dome-shaped lid with its peaked top sits on a matching engraved base plate, reflecting both cultural refinement and historical legacy.
