You need to know who manufactured these chairs. They could be the real thing or a knockoff. Look underneath for markings
Not sure what to look for but ive found nothing anywhere
Chippendale was a company and is a style. So identifying items as original or style can be hard, even for an expert. Here is an article that may help you understand what to look for....but it is not full proof:

I suggest trying a couple of experts at antique dealers you trust. Take the piece if you can vs photos. Hopefully after you have 2-4 good opinions you will know what you have and if you talk to them about insurance value, you will have that info. Retail value is usually lower than insurance value.
Let me know what you learn. I am eager to learn about all furniture styles! Thanks!!
Very excited to hear what you learn!
