Abstract
A paintbrush holder having a container and a closely fitting lid has a support for a brush parallel to an inclined wall of the container. The container is filled with solvent fluid to above the level of the brush support which is preferably a comb through which the bristles of the brush are drawn to remove the paint. Tines of the comb extend in a direction projecting from the plane of the inclined wall. The brush is supported for storage parallel to the inclined wall, with the bristles away from collected sediment.
