We own two grandfather clocks. They sit in corners of the dining room, which isn't much used. Of course they aren't being used as clocks, as they're completely obsolete for that purpose. People complain about modern disposable objects, but they do solve the problem of antiques encumbering ones life. It would be useful to go through ones life periodically and decide what's become a burden and should be discarded.
