Does anyone know what those lines above the mounted deer are?

If you click the '+' to enhance you can make out what looks like bells that appear to have a pendulum underneath them, and the length of each line seems to follow a harmonic series so it must be some kind of musical alarm chime but I've never seen anything like it :)

Can we also talk about how the vaulted ceiling has a similar, but altered motif as the floor? Really talented stuff!

Each bell summons a servant to a particular room.

The pendulum mechanism is on each bell. It is activated by the bell ring, and left swinging to indicate which bell or bells rang.

You are right about the floor/ceiling. Very impressive.
