%X In Spain furniture did not begin to be dealt with as material for scholarly research ¡ªwith notable exceptions¡ª until the 1970s. Likewise at that time a new form of art sales appeared on the national scene in addition to antique and art dealers: auctions, invented in England 200 years earlier. Thus the scholarly and the commercial came together: rigorous publications, thorough studies and catalogues of furniture which encouraged the appearance of new pieces, in many instances via the channel of the art market- that in turn nourished serious studies. Consequently furniture began to be valued in the broadest sense of the term, leading to its conservation, its dissemination and fixing its monetary worth. El mueble no comenz¨® a ser tratado en Espa a como objeto de estudio cient¨ªfico ¡ªsalvo honrosas excepciones¡ª hasta la d¨¦cada de 1970. En ese momento irrumpe adem¨¢s en el panorama nacional una nueva forma de venta de arte, al margen de anticuarios y marchantes: las subastas, nacidas dos siglos atr¨¢s en Inglaterra. As¨ª, lo acad¨¦mico y lo comercial se a¨²nan: publicaciones rigurosas, estudios concienzudos y cat¨¢logos de mobiliario, favorecen la aparici¨®n de nuevas piezas en muchas ocasiones a trav¨¦s del canal del mercado del arte, que, a su vez, nutren dichos estudios. Se aprende a valorar, en el sentido m¨¢s amplio del t¨¦rmino, el mobiliario. Lo que lleva a su conservaci¨®n, su divulgaci¨®n y tambi¨¦n, por qu¨¦ no, a establecer su valor pecuniario.
