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,

Vintage Peacock Betel Case
This vintage collectible is truly a work of art, featuring an ornate peacock-shaped Betel case/Paandaan. The center portion of the piece opens up, revealing compartments to store the various ingredients that go into making the paan. The peacock is depicted with an open feathered tail, which can also be unscrewed, adding to the functionality of the piece. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable, with intricate detailing throughout the piece, including on the feathers, beak, and eyes. It's a perfect example of the extraordinary pieces that were made in the yesteryears, even for routine requirements, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and artistry of India.
