Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
I’m Ujval Anand, the founder—and I’m so glad you’re here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts; it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s 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 couldn’t ignore—and that joy grew into The Blue Trunk.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunk—a symbol of everything we stand for. Today, I’m 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 let’s keep the magic alive—together.
With warmth,
Ujval Anand

This intricately carved wooden panel hails from Tamil Nadu and showcases a beautifully understated design. The panel's top draws inspiration from the majestic gopurams found atop temples, particularly those in Tamil Nadu. Complementing this, the bottom portion features an exquisite floral motif. An exquisite collectible, this decorative artwork effortlessly adds an elegant touch to any home interior. A vintage carved entry doorway panel from Tamil Nadu, richly detailed with a central floral engraving flanked by gracefully rendered peacocks at either end. Once polychromed, delicate remnants of its original pigments still surface across the carvings, offering subtle glimpses into its former vibrancy. The wood has aged into a beautiful, deep patina, bearing the quiet marks of time and use, and lending the panel a strong sense of presence, history, and regional craftsmanship.
Sourced From: Tamil Nadu
