Cabinet assistant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dresser

I believe this is a double definition.

'cabinet' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'assistant' is the second definition.
(dresser is a kind of assistant)

(Other definitions for dresser that I've seen before include "Theatre worker back-stage" , "behind the scenes" , "Kitchen sideboard - theatre employee" , "Domestic furnishing" , "One putting things on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
