Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
Iām Ujval Anand, the founderāand Iām so glad youāre here.
The Blue Trunk isnāt just about artifacts; itās about stories, memories, and the magic of Indiaās 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 couldnāt ignoreāand that joy grew into The Blue Trunk.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunkāa symbol of everything we stand for. Today, Iām 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 letās keep the magic aliveātogether.
With warmth,
Ujval Anand

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.
