Welcome to a world where the past meets the present, and the exceptional becomes the everyday
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

Vintage Brass Betel Box
A beautiful vintage brass betel case sourced from Tamilnadu. The rectangular box is a solid piece with two compartments inside to store accompaniments such as areca nut, slaked lime, gulkand, clove and katha. The design is simplistic yet attractive and is typical of betel boxes in Tamilnadu and Kerala. It is a clean piece with a brownish patina that it has gathered over decades.
The art of serving paan (betel leaves flavoured with accompaniments) has been an integral part of Indian culinary traditions. It has found a mention in ancient Hindu texts as well as been acknowledged for its ayurvedic properties.
