'furniture is one giving you a wave?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'husband bearing heavy item' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'bearing' becomes 'air' (I've seen this before).
'heavy item' becomes 'dresser' (I have seen 'Item of furniture' mean 'dresser' so perhaps 'item' could also mean 'dresser'. I am not sure about the 'heavy' bit.).
'h'+'air'+'dresser'='HAIRDRESSER'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hairdresser that I've seen before include "Stylist" , "cutter?" , "Lock smith?" , "Coiffeur, coiffeuse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
