Welcome to a world where the past meets the present, and the exceptional becomes the everyday
Welcome to the mystical world of The Blue Trunk! I’m Ujval Anand, the founder, and I’m so happy to have you here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts—it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s 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 can’t 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, I’m 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 let’s keep the magic alive together!
Love,
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.
