This study deals with the commercial activities of the Madrid firm Apolinar Marcos during its two main stages, through the use of their archive containing projects for interior decoration and furniture, models, prints, photographs and drawings used as catalogues. The methods employed for obtaining materials, the system of acquiring individual and groups of pieces from other firms, the wide range of suppliers —even outside of Spain— that sent pieces as samples or on deposit, and their habitual sales methods are discussed.
