You've already picked it, but I highly recommend Persuasion (1995). It's got a very real feel to it.
And this is an oddball recommendation, but I'd say try The Winslow Boy (the recent version directed by David Mamet). It's based on a Rattigan play which is loosely based on a 1908 court case. Both the movie and the play moved the setting closer to WWI. The costumes aren't fancy, but the story and the acting are amazing. It's got that odd, "these people are in a David Mamet production so they don't talk like normal people" vibe to it, but that's to be expected.
