Stand new lease (5)

I believe the answer is:

easel

'stand' is the definition.
(easel is a kind of stand)

'new lease' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'lease' with letters rearranged gives 'EASEL'.

(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "Artist's canvas holder" , "Painter's tripod" , "dead-headed plant" , "Painter's frame" , "Wooden frame for an artist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
