I believe the answer is:

art historian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'academic who appreciates beautiful objects' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'in short tiara will be repaired' is the wordplay.
'in short tiara' anagrams to 'ART HISTORIAN'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for art historian that I've seen is " Expert in the past of painters etc".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
