Charles Favell (c.1834-1902) and Rupert Favell (1843-1895) were the sons of William Favell (c.1797-1871), a well-known Sheffield surgeon.   By about 1870, the brothers were partners in the silversmith Creswick & Co.  They dissolved their partnership in 1879.  Rupert moved to London and established Bedford Plate Works in Bucknall Street, off New Oxford Street.  In 1883, he took Henry Elliott into partnership and formed Favell, Elliott & Co.  When Elliott retired in 1890, the enterprise became R. Favell & Co.  Three years later Rupert retired and the firm was purchased by William Hutton.  Charles eventually dissolved Creswick’s and in 1887 he established Charles Favell & Co.  In that year, he registered a silver mark in Arundel Street (another was registered in 1901).  He died in Worksop on 5 June 1902, aged 68, leaving only £30.  

Creswick’s crossed-arrows mark passed to Hutton.  C. Favell & Co was listed as a manufacturer of electro-plate and silver goods in Arundel Street until about 1907, when it merged with W. W. Harrison and its address became Montgomery Works, Rockingham Street.  The name disappeared from Sheffield directories in about 1914.
