Label on the foreign item in furniture shop? (5)
I believe the answer is:
table
'item in furniture shop?' is the definition.
(tables are furniture)
'label on the foreign' is the wordplay.
'label' becomes 'tab' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'the foreign' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'tab'+'le'='TABLE'
(Other definitions for table that I've seen before include "League -; dressing -" , "Statistical chart" , "Article of furniture - list of facts and figures" , "Food - list" , "Record" .)
