A brush holder for use in combination with a paintbrush and a male-threaded extension pole, said brush holder having two integral, joined components comprising: a first component being, a rectangular-shaped elastomeric box having a wide front wall, a wide back wall, a narrow left side wall, a narrow right side wall, a rectangular top opening, said top opening defined by said front wall, back wall and side walls, and a rectangular bottom end, said bottom end having a handle opening therein in which the handle opening comprises a quadrilateral opening having dimensions sufficient to allow the insertion of a paintbrush handle downward through the box top opening and into the center of said quadrilateral opening, whereupon the heels and ferrule of said paintbrush snugly engage the elastomeric interior walls of the box, thereby providing secure retention of said paintbrush handle within the box; and further, the exterior of said bottom end culminating in a tapered, rectangular flange; a second component being a hollow staff having (a) an abutting end comprising a rectangular contour of the same dimensions as the rectangular flange of said box bottom end, and (b) an attaching end having a circular opening comprising interior female threads, wherein the rectangular flange of said box and the abutting end of said hollow staff are permanently joined about their perimetral edges so as to form the complete integral brush holder and further, the attaching end of said staff may be rotated so as to engage the external threads of any compatibly-threaded pole.
