Eleder-Hickok Seven-Piece Coffee and Tea Service

This sterling silver tea and coffee service by the Eleder-Hickok Company is truly breathtaking. Fine etching graces each pear- shaped piece, while the hammered finish imparts a subtle glow. This set retailed at Grogan Company, the leading jeweler in Pittsburgh, at the turn of the century. Perfectly suited for a private morning breakfast or the most elegant after-dinner gathering, this service combines beautiful form with seamless function.

The Eleder-Hickok Company, located in Newark, New Jersey was founded in 1918 as the Eleder Company. The firm took over Lebkuecher (or Lester) & Company that same year and evolved into Eleder-Hickok in 1922. The company completed commissions for Cartier, Gorham and several other important jewelers during the early 20th century, including small luxury items and presentation pieces. The company's name underwent several changes, and in 1933 merged with the Matthews Company to form the Hickok Matthews Company, which survives today.
