Artist's standing frame from European sale, possibly (5)

I believe the answer is:

easel

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

'artist's standing frame' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'european sale possibly' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sale' is an anagram of 'asel'.
'e'+'asel'='EASEL'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "Artist's prop" , "artistic aid" , "Support for 12's [ARTIST]" , "Studio frame" , "Stand in a studio" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
