A lacquer finish is done by applying many coats of thinned down paint, lightly sanding between each and then finishing with a sealer. Yours is chipped down to the wood. I would use a gloss paint mixed to the same color to "fill" the chips being very careful not to spread the paint over the original lacquer. You can then use pumice powder to smooth.
Bear in mind this will never be as perfect as the original finish.

ting color, like a pale grey or a silver? Your options are many.
You could tape off (evenly around the table) a section just at the corners using the largest damaged area as a guide. I would use a high gloss black lacquer since the legs appear to be black--or just paint that white border black with a high gloss lacquer paint
