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.

Located just minutes from Laxmi Vilas Palace, Tambekar Wada offers a rare glimpse into the artistic world of 19th century Baroda. For travellers interested in heritage architecture, mural traditions and the quieter stories of Indian homes, this painted mansion is one of Vadodara’s most intriguing hidden landmarks.
