I believe the answer is:

chesterfield

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

'the chair' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'flirt cheesed off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'flirt'+'cheesed'='flirtcheesed'
'flirtcheesed' anagrammed gives 'CHESTERFIELD'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
