Holmes was clearly of the Victorian age, but were the styles worn in the Jeremy Brett series more Victorian or Edwardian.

<H3>The Victorian era of the United Kingdom refers to Queen Victoria's rule which began in June 1837 and concluded in January 1901

Dating the Edwardian Era

All available literature is clear on one point, that the Edwardian Era cannot be precisely isolated to the period of King Edward VII's short reign (1901-1910). The term Edwardian may be taken to mean the period which encompasses the mid 1890s to the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914.

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson lived at 221b Baker Street between 1881-1904, according to the stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
