Welcome to the mystical world of The Blue Trunk! I’m Ujval Anand, the founder, and I’m so happy to have you here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts—it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s rich heritage. My journey started in the corporate world, but my heart was always drawn to travel, culture, and art. Collecting these pieces filled me with a joy I can’t quite put into words, and that joy led me here.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunk, a cherished symbol of everything we stand for. And now, I’m beyond excited to bring that same charm to you, wherever you are in India. With our website, you can explore and experience our collection from anywhere, anytime.
So, take a look around, find something that speaks to you, and let’s keep the magic alive together!
Love,
Ujval Anand

This 1857 wood engraving, titled Hindoo Women of Bombay in Ceremonial Dress, is part of Louis Rousselet's well-known collection India and Its Native Princes. The print depicts two women in traditional sarees, adorned with detailed jewelry, offering a visual record of ceremonial attire in 19th-century Bombay (now Mumbai).
Produced using wood engraving—a relief printing technique known for its precision and fine detail—this image serves as a historical reference to the cultural diversity present in colonial-era India.
The print is housed in a simple black frame.
