We prove the following result. If f is a harmonic quasiconformal mapping between two Jordan domains D and Ω having C 1 boundaries, then the function f is globally Hölder continuous for every α < 1 but it is not Lipschitz in general. This extends and improves a classical theorem of S. Warschawski for conformal mappings.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 31A05; Secondary 31B25.
