Tussore worked with gold for the bottom drawer (9)

I believe the answer is:

trousseau

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

'the bottom drawer' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'tussore worked with gold' is the wordplay.
'worked with' is an anagram indicator.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'tussore' with letters rearranged gives 'trousse'.
'trousse'+'au'='TROUSSEAU'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
