You may have more luck if you search for the chess set first, which was designed by Josef Hartwig in 1924. I have a couple of pictures of it and the table in a book called 'Bauhaus 1919-1928' edited by Herbert Bayer, Ise Gropius and Walter Gropius. It was originally published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1938, my copy in 1975 by Secker & Warburg. (I)SBN number may be 436 03685 1.
I actually bought myself a modern version of the set this afternoon, hence how I found my way to this site. If it give you any kind of start on dimensions, the playing area of the board is 350mm square.
The link is from some kind of design course, which in turn links to the chess set. Hope this is of some help - let me know if you ever find the design drawings for the table.
