Welcome to the mystical world of The Blue Trunk! Iām Ujval Anand, the founder, and Iām so happy to have you here.
The Blue Trunk isnāt just about artifactsāitās about stories, memories, and the magic of Indiaās 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 canāt 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, Iām 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 letās keep the magic alive together!

This is a remarkable pair of 18th-century vintage Deepalakshmi lamps originating from North Karnataka, featuring an exceptionally uncommon design. Both figures, donned in a skirt-like traditional attire, stand gracefully, holding deep oil wells with substantial walls in their extended hands. Notably distinctive, this pair deviates from convention by omitting the depiction of feet, rendering them uncommon and rare. Adorned with ornaments and showcasing finely braided hair at the back, these lamps exude a timeless elegance. Despite the natural wear and loss of facial features due to years of veneration and extensive use, both pieces boast an enchanting patina, bearing witness to the passage of time and the reverence they have received. As a vintage collectible, this pair encapsulates the charm of bygone eras, making it a delightful addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
