Holmes is Victorian enough, I would say - they were first published in the 1890s after all. The Holmes canon bridges the two era. But I think spiritually it's more at home in the late Victorian era than in the Edwardian era (although, realistically, I don't think people draw a strong distinction between the two eras anyway - at least not to my knowledge).

The Holmes stories were published from 1888 (maybe 1887 or 1889? I forget) through 1920-something, and around half (probably more, though I never counted) of the stories are set in the 1880s or 1890/1891. The other half are set in the mid-to-late 1890s, a very few are set in the very early 1900s, and one or two set ten years or so later than that -- the very latest is in 1914. The end of the Victorian era is technically 1901, although culturally you can give or take a few years. In any case, Sherlock Holmes is probably the single most widely-known "hey dude, it's the Victorian era!" signposts, at least as far as modern perception is concerned.

Also, there's the fact that ACD was rarely writing about the current time period -- most of the stories he wrote are set at a date that's anywhere between 5 and 40 years before the story's publishing date, so that gives it a bit of a difference between the style of writing and the culture being depicted.
