In April 2007 Christies in London held the auction British, Continental & Russian Pictures, which included the work Dunluce Castle, County Antrim, Ireland by Albert Dunington. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,680.00 (€ 2,459.74), 68% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Albert Dunington; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot East Loch Tarbert - Loch Fyne, Rothesay; and Ardbeg and Coroal Hill, Rothesay sold at auction in March 2001 with the realized price of GBP 1,938.75 (€ 3,128.37).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
