I purchased 8 of these at a sale with the intent to keep 4. I was told later they are Chippendale Chairs, but not a 100% on that. They are mahogany, ornate, great condition, and beautiful. The cushions are not original to the chair but are authentic cowhide. I am curious as to the exact period, design, and value of these 4. Thank you
