I believe the answer is:

fourposter

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

'ad for old-fashioned piece of furniture' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'number given on' is the wordplay.
'number' becomes 'four' (four is a kind of number).
'given' becomes 'poster' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'four'+'poster'='FOURPOSTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for fourposter that I've seen is " sleeping accommodation".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
