After the first \chapter{First chap.} declaration you can add

\addtocontents{lof}{\centerline{\scshape Chapter I}}%
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\vspace{1\baselineskip}}%

after the second \chapter{Second chap.},

\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\vspace{2\baselineskip}}%
\addtocontents{lof}{\centerline{\scshape Chapter II}}%
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\vspace{1\baselineskip}}%

and so on. Change \vspace to suit your design, as well as the  
\scshape, to whatever you wish.


Best,
