Dealer acquires woven mats for author (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
bram stoker
'author' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'dealer acquires woven mats' is the wordplay.
'dealer' becomes 'broker' (I've seen this before).
'acquires' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'woven' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mats' is an anagram of 'amst'.
'broker' going around 'amst' is 'BRAM STOKER'.
'for' is the link.
(Another definition for bram stoker that I've seen is " ''Dracula" author".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
