Taking time, restored tattered screen (7)
I believe the answer is:
reredos
'screen' is the definition.
(a reredos is an ornamental screen)
'taking time restored tattered' is the wordplay.
'taking' is a deletion indicator.
'time' becomes 't'.
'tattered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'restored' with 't' taken away is 'resored'.
'resored' with letters rearranged gives 'REREDOS'.
(Other definitions for reredos that I've seen before include "Fireback" , "Red rose could show a screen behind the altar" , "Back of fireplace" , "Painted screen behind an altar" , "Wall decoration behind altar" .)
