Shaking rug after Charlie's moving seat (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rocking chair

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

'seat' is the definition.
(rocking chair is a kind of seat)

'shaking rug after charlie's moving' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'shaking' could be 'rocking' ('rock' can be a synonym of 'shake') and 'rocking' is present in the answer.
'charlie' could be 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'c' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hair' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
