Rectories rebuilt including one item of corresponding furniture (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escritoire

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

'item of corresponding furniture' is the definition.
'escritoire' can be an answer for 'furniture' (escritoire is a kind of furniture). I'm not certain of the 'item of corresponding' bit.

'rectories rebuilt including one' is the wordplay.
'rebuilt' is an anagram indicator.
'including' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'rectories' is an anagram of 'escritore'.
'escritore' enclosing 'i' is 'ESCRITOIRE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for escritoire that I've seen before include "Furniture item" , "Writing desk" , "Support for author" .)
