Furniture for the actress's Cambrian maid! (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

welsh dresser

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

'furniture' is the definition.

'actress's cambrian maid' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'cambrian' could be 'welsh' (I've seen this before) and 'welsh' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dresser' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for welsh dresser that I've seen before include "Furniture item" , "Means of entry" , "Piece of furniture" , "actors' assistant from Cardiff used?" , "might get covered in the kitchen?" .)
