Decoration for dilapidated drawer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reward

'decoration' is the definition.

'dilapidated drawer' is the wordplay.
'dilapidated' is an anagram indicator.
'drawer' with letters rearranged gives 'REWARD'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Bounty for, eg, capturing outlaw" , "Reinforcement for good behaviour" , "It's given for service or attainment" , "Recompense, remunerate" , "Deserved prize" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
