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.

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.
