Use shoe polish in a tin (paste). Start with a light color like tan or neutral and go darker if necessary. This will cover the chipped areas and make them less noticeable.
Go to www.fastcap.com and order the SoftWax kit. You can find (or make) the matching color and then rub on the damage like a crayon, rub off and buff out.
i suggest using a few crayons to melt and mix into a color very close to the woods color. Once mixed apply with a paint brush in layers until you fill the damaged area then buff to a shine. If you keep the wax at the lowest temp that it is still a fluid it will go on thicker and faster.
Even though it is an antique, it appears to be veneer. Since some of these seem to be good size pieces, you may want to get a very thin strip of light veneer at the home improvement store. You could shape a chip to a little smaller than a missing piece. Glue it in with wood glue, clamp, and let it dry. Then fill in the edges with wood putty, feathering it to fit the rest of the veneer. Let that completely set. Then lightly sand everything smooth, match the stain, and seal the final layer. Best wishes 😇
Go buy some wood filler (I believe they come in colors), and put it on like someone would when they are taping a wall. Put on a light layer, dry, and then sand. I would repeat this maybe a few times. Good luck

You can put wood glue in a hypodermic needle and shoot it under the veneer to hold it down.

I would use the wood putty in the tub to replace the missing veener - sand smooth and restain with stain marker pen or jar stain.
